You said on the show that you think the press "overplayed" the palin card - I would say that you were one of the leading "overplayers". Any backtracking now?
I don't think I said that. I said that the McCain campaign overplayed the whole reformer/earmarks thing a little, and essentially invited the press and the Democrats to investigate her history on earmarks.
I think it took some of the luster off Palin, but not much. She's still a net positive; without her, McCain would be trailing badly.
