I hear ya.

Wales, Roman....I don't know. Is it me or is the tide turning, much like in 2000 and 2004? :(:( I'm just getting a bad feeling about this. When the issues don't get discussed by the MSM (on which most of Americans agree with Democrats) and the campaign is reduced to sound bites, you know what that means. :(

During the primaries I would see this panic that really never amounted to anything so I guess what's going on now doesn't faze me (exept to put me off McCain). I think that the media will burn some people out on Palin because it gets annoying to hear about the same thing over and over again and they're not actually revealing anything about her at all. It's sort of like an American Idol type obsession which wears thin.

I remember how when Obama basically sealed up the nomination, Tim Russert said he would love to be a history teacher the next day. That would have been a great day to be one but now I feel bad for any government teachers having to discuss this travesty since they can't point to a great system and the issues of the day.

Palin's people are even attacking Matt Damon for having an opinion about her being like a bad Disney movie. I suppose that next they'll attack Roger Ebert for giving her a bad review. Everybody's victimizing her but I think they are wrong in assuming that the constant woe is me is going to play well with everyone.

I think at some point it is fair to make the statement that if she is offended by comments like these, then she isn't up to the job that she is applying for. There really is an expectation that she be accountable to the public and not just stand up, say a few words and then go hide.

Here is an interesting analysis of the tax plans. It appears that once again McCain isn't telling the truth.

Thanks for the link, Jess. Very interesting.

Good points. I did see that about Matt Damon. It's very clear now that they will pounce on every little thing as long as it gives them a good sound bite.

And for a woman who is supposed to be so "tough", she sure does cry a lot. Now they're saying that they are going to keep her campaigning with McCain for a few more weeks. They are probably wanting larger crowds for McCain and they know he would never get them without the pit bull by his side.

And the tv media is playing right into their hands. Example: McCain is up in Missouri by 5 points. He has a solid lead. Obama is leading by 5 points in Penn., and he is barely holding on. Plus, it's a close race.

The MSM kill me. Instead of talking about 9/11, they have spent their time today bringing up SP's name every chance they get, and saying the Obama campaign is back on their heals with no way to respond.

You know.....THAT BS.

GMAFB. That really just pisses me the [!@#$%^&*] off. Hopefully the American voter is going to get tired of all this PalinLove and see right through her. Like what was said earlier - she can't just keep running out, speaking a few words and then go ducking for cover.

Why is the MSM treating her with kid gloves? Because she's a woman???

I think it is the case of the MSM being scared to be once again accused of sexism. If they say anything about her, people will blast them.

It is what they report and how they report it. That Hocky Mom crap and all the personal stuff, that has nothing to do with her record, is the crap they are focusing on.

The ones doing the real reporting are getting the job done. The others? Screw 'em.

I wish the other new networks would shine their spotlight on this little story. Perhaps it would serve a wake up call to women activists who are so supportive of Palin.

Thanks for posting this. BTW, love the banner.

This will get no press at all. The MSM is refusing to report these kind of stories.

Are you telling me that because Palin has stolen the "I am new, I am fresh" mantle from Obama, that now she DESERVES to be attacked unfairly?

LOL

Oh Obama fever has cooled down, so now what are his disciples doing!

The DEMS made a big mistake not nominating Clinton...she could have won this race easily!
