"I think the MSM does us a favor. It toughens us up. They never toughen up the Democrats so the Democrats always come up poorly prepared in encounters with Republicans."

I agree. [BTW, this interview is to air for 3 nights?]

Back to your comment: can you see now the debates? Obama and his uh's and um's and ah's to answers and McCain's answers like at Saddle Back? Or, Sarah Palin's answers to the tough questions to Plugs Biden's same old pat answer of "we're not going to repeat the same old failed policies of the last eight years of the Bush administration" for every question?

Our side is getting the training while their side gets to relax...for now. Remember when Apollo was taking it easy while Rocky trained in the meat locker.

I think ole Charlie Rose (and the REAL DRIVERS - his producers and speech writers (er, question writers) ) were showing to THEIR buddies in the MSM that “See? See? See? WE at ABC are not going to be soft and nice to this lipstick mommy wanna-be who is disrupting OUR coronation of the Anointed One. WE are going to be tough. SEE HOW TOUGH WE ARE. Look at us, WE got the interview YOU wanted, WE are tough.”
