I'm going to begin to limit my rants starting today, especially the Rove/Fox rants. But since you brought it up!...I see Rove's fingerprints on everything connected with Fox and the McCain campaign...and what major scandal did he not advise the President on during Bush Nightmare II? He's not "the decider" but the common denominator in Conservia. Let's review, Fox, Campaign, RNC, White House, and he can't be voted out.

The neocons magic bullet. BTW I limited my rants starting last year!

If Obama were to give Conservative media an opening to hassle him about his speaking and debating skills they would have. But that's cliche and I'm sure you already knew that. Although, her own words are what's being used against her, by an "all is fair in love and war" campaign process that has existed since Adams V. Jefferson.

Did you notice how I scapegoated her handlers for being smart, and you scapegoated the press for exploiting embarressment. The part of your post I emboldened, I think we agree on.

Perhaps so and I won't be sad. I thought, based on McCain's performance in the primary debates, that he would crash and burn, and dammit, he didn't. Guess we're gonna find out real quick.

Can you imagine how nervous Palin is? I hope they find that correct balance of Lithium and Phenabarbitol...enough to smile but not enough to drool.

I can't even give you a "nice try" for that one. There has been no mistreatment by the press, they've asked her legitimate questions and then stuck the microphone in front of her face... she's done the rest.
