How "Lipstick Pig Flap" may work to our advantage, (fivethirtyeight.com)

Maybe, just maybe, it's better to have the narrative around pointless snarkiness than to keep hearing about Magnificent Todd and his Snow Machine, etal?

snip:

The McCain campaign has spent a week campaigning on big themes and big personalities, and gotten a fair amount of mileage out of it. This takes everyone back down a notch, back down to the tedium and banality of partisan politics. It would be wishful thinking to call it a momentum-changer, but it may by default be a momentum-stopper. The convention/Palinmania phase of the news cycle -- a phase the Republicans clearly thought they were winning -- is now over.

And remember, Palin isn't the Pig, she's the lipstick!
