    What If She Plays the Comeback Kid?

    Posted Thursday, October 02, 2008 2:06 PM | By Emily Bazelon
    Dahlia, if Palin tanks tonight, then I think you're right. She won't cash in the victim card at the ballot box. But in the more likely event that she exceeds ever-falling expectations, then she gets the benefit both of Hanna's deserving-of-sympathy image and comeback kid redemption. Isn't that the persona we tend to love best--perky candidate/boxer with gumption who looks like she's down for the count, then pulls it out? A much better end to the Palin Lifetime series. And enough to shore up those sliding poll numbers?
