“Obviously something big took place in the media,” she added. It is “very frightening, I think, what the media was able to get away with, this go around.”

I hope Governor Plain brings some big guns out the "next go around" to blast away at the media drones who so shamelessly attacked her and her family, and are in fact still attacking them.

Obviously something big took place in the media, Obama's war room.

"But here's a little news flash for all those reporters and commentators: I'm not going to Washington to seek their good opinion. I'm going to Washington to serve the people of this country. Americans expect us to go to Washington for the right reasons, and not just to mingle with the right people." - Sarah Palin, Acceptance Speech at RNC

As much as I love Sarah and think she was the most qualified candidate on either ticket, I cringed when I heard her make that statement in a taunting tone of voice in her acceptance speech. She literally threw down the gauntlet to the media, and they picked it up and ran with it. (Not that she wouldn't have been attacked anyway, but it might not have been as vicious and personal as it got.)

I'm sincerely hoping that she'll use the next few years to hone her knowledge base of international issues, and gain some "gravitas". I would love to see her as our first woman president. She has the common sense, intelligence, and intuition needed to lead our nation, along with a genuine rapport with the real people who make this country work.
