Breaking the Vice Grip?

Filed under: 2008 elections,Jeff Pasley's Writings,Media — Jeffrey L. Pasley @ 12:17 am

Possibly it is obnoxious to say I told you so, but I was very pleased to see Obama campaign manager David Plouffe quoted making the same point I made last August about the electoral insignificance of vice-presidential picks. He also notes the real impact of the great Mooseslayer on the race: she helped the Democrats, big time.

Here is Plouffe on Gov. Sarah Palin: “Vice presidential picks rarely but sometimes make an electoral difference. Our view was it probably wasn’t going to matter that much. It’s the most over-covered story in politics. This was the one exception to that. It did have an effect.”

“She was our best fundraiser and organizer in the fall.”

Long may she run as the GOP’s shining star.
