Mr. Gay - regurgitating the views of nationally syndicated columnists does not constitutes a "commentary."
Quite frankly, had Couric asked any DUMBER questions, I suspect she might have been summarily carted off to "failed news reader wonderland," on the spot - never to be heard from again. I think the audacity of the media trying to second-guess McCain's decision of tagging Palin as his running mate is remarkably revealing of how low our media has truly sunk - and how much we, the public, has allowed this to happen. This was after all, McCain's decision to make, and he's the one who will live to regret or rejoice this decision.
Thursday night's debate will be very telling - if Palin does well - McCain wins this election. If she stumbles, mumbles, and bumbles - he loses. End of story. So she gets to be either the hero of the GOP, or the gal who brought upon the dawn of true Socialism in America through an Obama administration.
No pressure, Palin ...

It's not that Sarah Palin is under wraps. She does have many opportunities throughout the day to speak to reporters. She just doesn't take them. A lot of pundits seem to think that she's being treated unfairly by the McCain campaign. However, it's Sarah Palin muzzling Sarah Palin most of the time. She doesn't go out of her way to show herself to be any more informed, intelligent or experienced in matters of national government.
It's not the campaign--it's most certainly the candidate.

So Palin's "record" in Wasilla and Juneau consists entirely of a link to an extremely deceptive AP article about the so-called Troopergate investigation, an article that tries to create evidence of what? - that the Palin family had concerns about a rogue trooper who had threatened to kill one of them and committed various other acts of misconduct?
And somehow that article manages to quote the trooper's denials of the threat without ever mentioning that he had, in fact, been disciplined for making them? And somehow that very lengthy article manages to avoid mentioning a key piece of information:
The Democratic state senator in charge of this so-called "investigation," Hollis French, is a key figure of the Obama campaign in Alaska, who had already "convicted" Palin before the investigation had barely gotten started.
And while evil motives and deception are clearly implied as the reason for Palin's not turning over emails to French, no sinister motive is ascribed to the fired Police Commissioner for refusing to turn over his emails from the Governor's office. The guy knows exactly why he was fired - he was going behind her back to contradict her instructions on budget matters. She was his boss and he was being insubordinate.
Let's face it, the "investigative report" that is supposed to reveal Palin's record is just one more in the long list of Obama campaign spin articles being produced by the AP this year. A once respected news source has abandoned all effort at objectivity, and the result is simply propaganda.

Amen is right, brother! I had always considered McCain as one of the few Republicans that I could possibly vote for on the national scene (though certainly not after the last eight years) due to his overall moderate stances. When he picked Palin, however, I really lost respect for the man. Talk about audacity! Country First!?!? I hope she does step down (not until I get a chance to see her debate though) for two reasons. First, because it would show just how much disarray the McCain campaign really is in. Second, because I think there's still a chance that McCain could win and let's face it, she's dangerous.
