Think about it....

Usually, there may be a day or so of "what happened?" coverage with the losing team and "what's next on your plate" and then life goes on and coverage shifts to the winning team.

However, in this case, a bunch of still-identified sources start blaming Palin in mass for losing the election and start throwing out a bunch of charges.

The media, ever looking for a story, starts swarming around Palin in order to get her response to the charges. While this is going on different charges start to come out and the media then starts asking Palin for her response to those charges.

The net effect is to keep the camera focused on Palin. As she gets to give her side of the story she is able to promote herself on camera in a way she never would have been able to during the campaign w/out having to answer questions that she's not prepared for.



Just something to ponder during your slow moments.
