John Kerry

that her idiotic response led to Kerry's comment being replayed at least hourly cable all Friday. Could it be possible that she was hurting Romney. It was a funny line designed to tell a truth and get a laugh at the convention, but it got far more coverage than anyone could have predicted.

Worse for Romney, it led to the quote being replayed and ALL the discussion mostly making fun of Palin. None of the times I heard the coverage had a word of defense for Romney. This means the attack was repeated often with absolutely no push back - and while many laughed at Palin - many might have allowed the idea that Romney has NO FP experience to become CW.
