Sarah Palin: Target or Ambush Waiting To Happen?

The media are now saying that Sarah Palin has put a target on her forehead because of her impressive speech to the RNC. This may be true; But if it is, it was very well calculated by the McCain/Palin camp. The Obama team is now scrambling to figure out how to attack her properly. It's a very difficult situation for them. Is it really possibly for them to attack her without getting backfire?

Not only do they have to worry about the public, who may see attacks on Palin as unfair because she's a woman; but Palin is seeming more and more able to hold her own. She has a fire that many did not expect. McCain is looking more and more like a genius to make this pick. It's working out to his advantage so far as it has absolutely captured the media's attention. Who is the bigger star now; Palin or Obama? In addition, the Republicans can make a great claim, "Our star has more executive experience than theirs."

The Palin pick seemed exceedingly risky at first, but it's working out so far. The question is, will it hold up in the long run and how will the VP debate go down?
