unbelievable
What is unbelievable is you thinking the white hot hatred that the media had against Palin, and their determination to keep her from remaining in politics, would have led them to not notice that Palin was not endorsing the other half of her presidential ticket, for him to remain as a Senator, and that they would simply move on, and not use that opening as a club to derail any gains the republicans hoped to make in that election.
McCain/Palin would have been the story of the 2010 cycle.
