11. If you leave out substance, yes, it's working very well...
And the media MUST leave out substance, or they are accused of all sorts of things.

12. Maybe the many posts about Palin are not as important or relevant to the campaign
compared to our criticism of the real enemy, McCain. Maybe some people on DU are right in that the real object of our criticism should be McCain.
But Sarah Palin's entry into the race has really motivated me as a progressive to contribute to Obama and to take a renewed interest in this election. I had stayed away from DU for quite awhile during all the Clinton/Obama bickering. But Palin represents everything I hate about the Republican Party, even more than McCain. Palin has renewed and sharpened my focus.
