McCain doesn’t care. He’s probably having fun with it. I’d bet that Sarah has told McCain to let them hammer at her and take the pressure off of him. The press is just dumb enough to fall for it.
I do recall them gushing about how important and gutsy it was for Mondale to pick a woman for VP, even though (by her own admission at the time) she was not ready to step into the Presidency, if it was so needed. The press did quickly cover that over, though . . . .
I won’t hold my breath to see if they report on the sparseness of Biden’s crowds when “The One” isn’t with him.
Someone here on FR (Miss Marple I believe) predicted this exact story!!
Before I read the article, I need to post this:
Jennifer Loven is a DNC hack!
Now, I’ll read the article and see if she disappoints.
She did NOT “stumble on foreign policy” in her ABC interview!
Asking Charlie to clarify his question about the Bush Doctrine was wise and clear.
Inside the OODA loop, indeed.

The AP and San Francisco Chronicle still call Loven a “writer” and “reporter.”
All she does is editorialize. She’s not a professional journalist. She is a Liberal Commentator.

I have no doubt that Mrs. Palin will be President some day. She has the sense, poise and charisma to gain the office and be a very successful Chief Executive and Leader of the Free World.
Excerpted from an old thread:
Jennifer Loven is the AP reporter responsible for the over-the-top biased article “Bush, Kerry Twisting Each Other’s Words” filed today.
As noted in that thread, she is also author of a hit piece back in June pretending that the Bush Administration was being damaged by Richard (Yellowcake Fraud) Clarke:
“Bush not able to dispel questions”
What is not known is that she has NO BUSINESS covering the Presidential campaign or the Presidency in general for the following reasons (hat tip to PowerLine Blog):
1. Her husband, Roger Ballentine, has donated over $7000 to various Democrat candidates and the DNC in the past 10-plus years, including $1250 to the Kerry campaign:
2. Her husband is not only a Democrat contributor, but also a former Clinton Administration official(!):
Washington Life Magazine-May 2003: Real Estate News (scroll down):
Extract:
Roger Ballentine is president of Green Strategies, a consulting firm specializing in energy and environmental issues, and was previously deputy assistant to President Clinton for environmental initiatives and chairman of the White House Climate Change Task Force. He also sits on the board of directors of Solar Electric Light Fund (SELF)along with actors Ed Begley, Jr. and Larry Hagman.
Yup, time to let McCain go..
he’s a drag on the ticket.
Palin / Coulter ‘08
I was wondering when they would get around to this angle. In reality, however, Palin has been doing exactly what a good VP pick should do, namely, draw fire away from the top of the ticket.
