Ms. Palin has kept her name out there by commenting on the latest developments in the Republican primary. Earlier this week, she said that former Godfather’s Pizza CEO Herman Cain was the campaign’s latest “flavor of the week” after he won the Florida straw poll last weekend. On Thursday, Ms. Palin said she did not mean to suggest that Mr. Cain is a passing fad. The full excerpt from the transcript: What the media tends to do is propel this flavor of the week. I’m not saying that Herman Cain is the flavor of the week. I’m one of his biggest fans and I would never dismiss him or speak negatively about him. I’m saying in this fast movie, 24/7 news cycle that is our world today that the media does have to gin up some controversy and intrigue so viewers tune in and there’s a lot of competition in the media world in this quasi-reality show it seems that’s being created in the GOP primary. It’s just the nature of the beast right now and I think anybody would hard-pressed to argue against what I observed.
