News columnists seem to have concluded Palin is a Stalking Horse.
For example, Jon Friedman writes in a column titled "The Sarah Palin Phenomenon Is Doomed" on the CBS blog from September 15, "It's easy to accuse [the news media] of acting like sexists or big-city egomaniacs. Let's be real, though. McCain selected Palin for exactly those reasons - because she is a woman from a little-known state, who can take some of the heat off McCain and behave like an attack dog against Barack Obama. So far, the Republicans' plan has worked to perfection, as Palin has dominated the political discourse over the past few weeks. Now we'll see if she has the right stuff to go the distance."

She's pretty plucky. I suspect she has it.
