Nervous MSM Suggests McCain Scrap Sarah [references FR]

Imagine it's a few days before the Dem convention. In a big—BIG—surprise, Barack Obama names Rhode Island congressman Patrick Kennedy his vice-presidential running mate. You're a partisan Republican. Do you?:

* a. demand that Obama drop Kennedy from the ticket; or * b. sit back and enjoy the, uh, ride.

I'm guessing the great majority of red-blooded Republicans would answer 'b.' Why wouldn't you want a weak link on the opposing ticket? So what kind of scare has Sarah Palin has put into the MSM that various of its members, like Jack Cafferty, are floating the notion that McCain should consider dropping Palin? I subscribe to the view of the Palin candidacy that Peggy Noonan wrote about today. The headline sums it up well: A Clear and Present Danger To the American Left.

Let’s put it this way, when Obama picked Biden, I cheered and told my husband, “Christmas came early!!”

According to a poster at Free Republic, the mag [owned by big Obama donor Jann Wenner] took the poll down after the results were overwhelmingly against Palin's withdrawal.

A word to the wise - there are a lot of eyes on FR right now, many of them extremely hostile, and they are quite as interested in taking FR down as they are in taking Sarah Palin down, and for the same reason.

Answering the author's question, yes, I was certainly pleased that Senator "Coke-Head" Obama chose such a weak running mate as Senator "Mr. Logorrhea" Biden.

And clearly the media have gone stark, raving mad in their frenzied attempts to attack Governor Palin. I haven't seen such a silly circus in a while. They are literally printing rumors as quickly as the idiots at DailyKos can manufacture them. This is the very definition of panic.

that explains why the dinosaur media of Oreily and Olberman are making IDENTICAL questions. (like that billy O?)

Olberman and OReily are BOTH trying desperatly to debunk the fact the eastern media works together with the Obama camp. (NYC only mindset)

OReily whored himself A DEAL to interview Obama. He has ADMITTED HE SOFTBALLS QUESTIONS to the likes of sharpton and jessie jackson.

They are delusional if Oreily and Olberman don’t think we do not know about shared email lists and contacts.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled program

Sorry, but looking at that mug that Kennedy has, I couldn't resist
