Chuck Todd provides an analysis of the Sarah Palin enthusiasm bubble and asks Will it bulge or bust? Todd contends that while Palin appears as of now to have had a positive impact for Republicans up and down the ballot, this is probably as good as it's going to get:
The Obama campaign is counting on the Palin effect wearing off. They’re hoping that the final month of the campaign will be about Obama v. McCain.
I think he's right. Obama needs to stop focusing on Palin and try to let the enthusiasm die down a bit. While I expect the Republican base to stay in love with Palin (and McCain by default), I think Governor Palin's celebrity has probably peaked with independents.
