DC Consultant: Look for attacks on Palin to intensify

Cheri Jacobus, a Washington-based political consultant (her firm is Capitol Strategies), has an op-ed in today's Pundits Blog on The Hill's website. She says than on the subject of Sarah Palin, the Belway establishment of both political parties is at odds with ordinary Americans:
"Despite the fact that the snooty elite media look down their noses at this woman whose success came by her own hand — rather than by having the right parents or bloodline or marrying into the right clan or playing a few decades of Chicago-style insider politics — Sarah Palin seems to be surviving quite well with the American people, even though she is shifting gears and leaving her post as Alaska's governor."
Jacobus thinks that Sarah Palin has unlimited opportunities,if she can make the most of them:
"If Palin can get her organizational act together just a little bit — finding a few good, solid, smart people who understand the establishment but are not a part of it to raise a bit of cash, schedule her wisely to make maximum use of her time and provide the balance required for her family life, the sky is the limit."
The consultant warns, however, that "if you think you've seen the long knives out for Palin already, it's nothing compared to what will happen when she gets organized." Jacobus says the latest Rasmussen results which indicate that "without even really trying, Sarah Palin is nearly at the same level as the men who are really, really trying hard" will only serve to intensify the attacks.

Update: Jamie Dean says the nest of vipers in Alaska that is responsible for soem twenty bogus "ethics complains" -- most of which have been dismissed -- will likely continue to flood the governors office with more complaints and FOI requests even afrer Sarah Palin's resignation is official.
