I think that most of the people who are busy digging up dirt on Palin are partisans with a deep dislike for Republicans who would never have considered voting for McCain anyway. Obviously to the partisan left this is a very big deal but I am not sure it will resonate with swing voter types.
She is very popular with the Republican base and none of these things will change that fact. I think the left would be wise to focus on her relative lack of experience rather than attack her family.
I actually think that it is a stroke of luck for McCain that the left has gone so crazy digging up dirt on her family. It will provide the Republicans a shield for later more substantive attacks because they will be able to dismiss all criticisms as "tabloid" smears. I think in this case the left is its own worst enemy. They should have stuck to attacking her positions and inexperience.
This current line of assault it is likely to have the result of most middle of the road types who are not very political feeling like she is being unfairly attacked, smeared and victimized. Everyone has family problems of these sorts. You may recall the Hillary Clinton's popularity soared after she started being perceived as a victim following Bill's impeachment.
