Byron York describes a new Democratic strategy in the closely fought Coakley race, namely running not against Republican Scott Brown, but against Sarah Palin:

Sevugan sent out an email to reporters featuring a link to a story on the lefty website TPM. The headline: “Is Sarah Palin Avoiding Mass Senate Race?” The story quoted a Democratic strategist saying that “it’s interesting” that Palin is “nowhere to be found in this race.” TPM conceded that GOP sources say there has been “no talk” about Palin visiting Massachusetts. But that didn’t stop Sevugan, who is quoted declaring that Palin’s supporters “are anxious for her to weigh in.” At the top of his email to journalists, Sevugan wrote, “Come on, Sarah, why are you being so shy?”

A couple of hours later, Sevugan was emailing again, with a message entitled, “Has the Pit Bull lost her bark?” What followed was a statement from Sevugan on “the surprising silence from Sarah Palin on Republican Scott Brown’s bid for the U.S. Senate.” Sevugan demanded to know: “Where on earth is Sarah Palin herself? Clearly her supporters are anxious for her to weigh in.”

Question: will MSNBC or CNN now run against Fox using the same strategy?
