“And they will be, in spades, both at the convention and in the next couple of months...”
If McCain/Palin can shout over the MSM din about her vetting process, her daughter’s baby bump, her Troopergate “scandal,” Hurricane Hanna and every and anything else they can dredge up. Remember, the independent women and PUMAs she needs to attract don’t get their news from FReep and Rush Limbaugh. They get their news from Andrea Mitchell and the View nags and Oprah.
McCain/Palin have to get the media’s attention before they can get their message out. So far, in the first 5 days of her rollout, Obama has gained 2 points in Rasmussen’s poll. The big announcement came directly after Obama’s speech in order to blunt it’s effect. It didn’t work.

Points well taken. What heartens me is the Swiftboat Vets success and the fact that Dan Rather is no longer at CBS.
The MSM is even less powerful now. And they know it.
You are flat-out wrong. You could easily follow the link above and learn just how wrong.
Hillary Clinton Forum - Palin Thread
The women posting at the above link are long-term Hillary supporters, some are moderators at that site. They are incensed at the Obama/media treatment of Hillary. From what I have read there, party affiliation is much less important than principles. We can all learn some things in this election cycle, and we can learn to work together with our former opponents for the good of the country. That is what Governor Palin did in the Alaska political arena, and 80+% of the people of Alaska approve of her (highest of all governors).
The former Hillary supporters are politically active, meaning they have effective personal and social networks they have put to good use in many previous election seasons. They have joined the Sen. McCain/Gov. Palin movement, and they are welcome and valuable assets to the campaign.
We have seen such vicious and desperate mud-slinging over the three-day holiday weekend simply because the Democrat and their media machine got blind-sided with this addition to the Republican ticket.
If you are putting any credence in the liberal polls showing Obama at 50%, you should look at where you are getting your news, look at their motives, and recognize the fact that this is a political campaign, and the vilest of political activities are to be expected. CNN and MSNBC, et.al., are simply extensions of the Obama campaign.
I am confident that the voters of America will overwhelming vote for Senator McCain and Governor Palin this November.
