The Iron Yuppie

Think what you will about her, but she's clearly a strong politician. But two moves recently, seem to be just weird:

#1) Insulting the (new?) media

Yes, that's very smart. The people who helped get you the nomination were bloggers. Insulting them is probably not a good move. Fine if you were just talking about a subset, but that's still no good boss. Bloggers are very defensive about not being characterized as unprofessional.

#2) Announcing you're running in 2012. What? WHAT?? First, you have some damage control to do with aides/Republicans. Look at the rumors being spread by your own people. Second, aren't you still governor? Wouldn't you like to finish that out? Third, the president-elect hasn't even had his first day in office - maybe you'd like to work WITH him before you get him out of office?
