I was skimming through the reader comments on Greg Sargent's featured post. And this commenter makes a really good point: how many elected Republicans have you seen on TV as surrogates for Gov. Palin? Sticking up for her, defending her? Anything?

I'm told Lindsay Graham was on one show. And I know that Kay Bailey Hutchison was on one of the networks the day she was selected. But I think she said she really didn't know much about her.

This isn't just a rhetorical question. There's a lot of tv I don't get to watch. But I don't have a sense I've heard much from elected officeholders. Not really much of anything. And it's pretty striking once it's pointed out.

Who've you seen?
