Miles to Go

You must aim your fire at the top of the ticket, John McCain, and not at this beautiful girl, Sarah Palin, about whom you can do nothing.

You can never kill her now. Forget it. She can hurt herself, but in terms of Democratic attacks she is bulletproof. You made her that—she wasn't that way when she walked in.

Hope that Mr. McCain stops campaigning with her and spins her off into her own orbit, to small towns and medium-sized cities. It will cut his recent power in half. Some press will follow her, but mostly on gaffe patrol. They will want to keep their main lens on Obama and McCain.

This is going to be the only way to contain her power: Ignore it.

Peggy Noonan offers some friendly advice to the Democrats. Confront Sarah Palin at your peril - best to just ignore her. It's the same strategy that the Democrats and their friends, the mainstream media, used against Ron Paul. They could not offer better ideas so they kept him off the stage.
