Reply #11: Palin is a paid distractor.

I hate to say it, but under-estimating Rove is never good idea.
Palin makes the money, gets the headlines, he works behind the scenes turning blue states red
as much as possible.
One of these days someone will put out the definitive book about him, when it is safe to do so,
and a lot of people will say "I told you so" while the rest say " I had no idea ".

It does not pay to ignore him, just as it did not pay to ignore Cheney when Dufus was grabbig all the headlines.
