You've got to hand it to Dean Gregory D. Hess. He sure can turn a phrase, but what he's doing commenting on Politico? Here's the obligatory and odd mention. He's an econ. professor, not a policy wonk! Still his paragraph sized commentary for Politico on the issues du jour have been all worth reading. The econ. department would do well to follow his lead and start blogging themselves, if only to raise the profile of the CMC econ. department. Better watch out, Professor Pitney, look like someone's moving in on your turf.
“The irony is that Gov. Palin now sees the beauty of being a community organizer, a profession she once denigrated. More seriously, it’s not clear where her future lies. She is a charismatic speaker, can give a great stump speech and knows how to rally the party faithful. But she is taking a risk by leaving the governor’s office early. Expect to see her a lot on Fox News, and expect to see a lot less of her extended family in the news (the latter, in part, is the reason she played her hand the way she did).”
