This is not a bad thing for the Democrats. It both makes Palin more likely to get the Republican nomination and less likely to increase her base of support among "moderate Republicans" and "Independents".

On the other hand, the best thing Fox could do would be to give her a sports show that once in a while covers politics. That would maximize her exposure and minimize her opportunities to screw up. Thank your lucky stars that Fox does not have the Superbowl this year.

BTW

Wouldn't a debate between Olbermann and Palin about sports be a fun diversion?
