Yes, I see the point of that, and I think it’s pretty accurate. Attacks on McCain were basically, “He’s old, and he might be bats.” Attacks on Sarah were much more personal.

However, there is the implication that this made the difference in the election, and I don’t think that’s correct at all.

I wonder how many libs who may have taken a pass were motivated to get to the polls because of the media’s painting Palin as a fire breathing dragon out to devour their every sacred cow?

This bears repeating over and over

McCain/Palin were AHEAD in all the polls until Bush announced the economic disaster

That is what lost the election NOT Palin --She saved McCain
