The reason I found this so interesting is that, when I happened to catch the audio in the room next to my office, and walked in to watch the segment, I was fully prepared for the extent of Donny's remarks.
Having been a marketing student in both undergraduate and graduate school, I am well aware of the sociological and psychological bases of many marketing and advertising themes and propositions.
In fact, Donny directly and explicitly addressed the sexual component of Sarah Palin's appeal that Erin Burnett only referred to obliquely, using the first and last letters of the acronym MILF.
But I was not at all surprised that Deutsch described Palin as a 'seminal moment' in American politics. Further, he finally explained, without mentioning her, why Hillary was unable to leverage her gender.
She's simply not attractive. And if a woman is going to be powerful, female, and successful in politics, she needs to be both of the first two. Hillary adopted male trappings.
Sarah Palin is unabashedly running as an attractive uber-woman. Physically attractive, organizationally powerful, professionally successful and a mother, too.
I love the fact that Deutsch, simply following his professional instincts and nature, addressed all the themes present in Sarah Palin's attractiveness without flinching, hiding anything, nor beating around the bush.
