Saturday Night Live: Tina Fey is Sarah Palin

In previous SNL episodes, Tina has made it clear she is a supporter of Hillary Clinton and strong women. What people are most interested in seeing is how the resurgent show will paint Sarah Palin over the coming weeks. If the "Saturday Night Live affect" - which has played a surprisingly vital role this election still has some legs.

- Aaron Barnhart argues that for people searching for a vessel to damage Palin, Tina Fey isn't the answer
