As we noted earlier, the WashPost's David Broder delivered an early Valentine to Sarah Palin in today's newspaper; the same day the WashPost reported that new polling data show Palin has never been less popular and less respected.

Ouch.

Unfortunately, Atlantic's Marc Ambinder had the same idea as Broder and chose today to publish this column (at CBSnews.com):

Is Sarah Palin Lucky or Savvy?

I'm not going to bother highlighting all the ways Ambinder details Palin's super-savvy-ness. You can go read the whole thing yourself. But keep in mind that, according to the latest ABC/WashPost poll, Palin has never been less popular. Even among Repubicans.

There must be a different definition of “savvy” I'm just not aware of.
