Is the use of “Ms. Palin” in NYT style book or does it hurt their fingers to type Gov. Palin?

Here is an example of the “Palin effect” on American voters.

My wife...... she hardly follows politics. Probably couldn’t even name 10 politicians. Two weeks ago, she said she wasn’t very impressed with Obama’s running mate “Joe Liberman”. (thats right, she thought Liberman was running)

Anyway, all she is talking about the last week is Palin. All of her friends at work are talking about Palin. She never talks about politics, even though she has to listen to me. (I guess she tunes me out)

Anyway, this is all folks at my work are talking about. And I work at a site that employees over 5,000 people.

Or, at the very least, Mrs. Palin.

Same reason they print “Mr. Bush” instead of “President Bush”. Pure disdain.

Why in the world would they do that, when for eight years they have written "Mr. Bush"?

In this case I think the NYT's is OK. They commonly refer to Obama, McCain, etc, as Mr. The NYT's is old fashioned in this regard. It's one of the few things I like about them.
