"Little Known Facts" about Sarah Palin
Update: already have news items about this too:
On Twitter, McCain veep choice Sarah Palin already a folk hero
It started roughly about six hours ago give or take. It was shortly after the McCain announcement of his VP pick: Sarah Palin.
As far as I can tell from the tweets, it was a lark. Yeah. That's it! A lark (love that word!). Anyway, a website was created called "Palin Facts". And then the tweets got started. Viral is NOT the word for this one.
Now you can add to the meme yourself with your "little known fact" about Sarah Palin. Some of my favorites so far are:
- Sarah Palin is Spartacus.
- Sarah Palin can win the VP nomination using nothing but a piece of gum and a paperclip.
- Sarah Palin shot J.R.
- Sarah Palin taught MacGuyver everything he knows.
- Sarah Palin can catch salmon swimming upstream with her teeth
It was all started by this guy.
Hmmm...
So the question is...is this GOOD PR for Sarah Palin, John McCain and the Republicans...or is it BAD? What will they do with this?
If it were me, I'd let it ride. I'd follow it. I'd take the good ones. I'd play with them in my ads. But, it's not me.
Let's watch and find out...shall we?

Heaven forbid something happens to McCain, but I believe Palin would rise to the occasion. She has the right attitude. Everyone knows Obama is NOT ready for POTUS, Palin is only for the VP. Look at Dan Quayle.

She's conservative! SCORE! She's a Governor! SCORE! She's pro-drilling! She's a hunter! SCORE! She played hockey in school! SCORE! She's pro-life! SCORE! She fights corruption! SCORE!

It's a shame some partisans will take any excuse to shout at the top of their lungs, disrespecting the actual content of the post they're supposedly addressing.
Re bad PR ("Sarah Palin is Spartacus!"), probably the best the McCain campaign can do is to continue to establish their own beachheads in social media and continue to grow relationships that way, for the most part just ignoring the hateposts (except for debunking rumors, a la Obama's "Fight the Smears").
While the presidential campaign's *supporters* take on inflammatory posts, the campaign itself can conserve its resources for the purposes of proactively addressing misinformation and strengthening Web 2.0 relationships.
