To ignore the Couric factor would be a grave tactical error. For you to suggest this shows a lack of cultural understanding.

The same railing you were doing earlier about the pictures is the same factor involved in the Couric thing. We may not like that images impact our society, nevertheless, it is the basket of goodies we’ve been given to work with. To ignore this fact will be detrimental.

Intelligence triumphs over trend, but it takes effort.

Thank you for the articles. I take “informed voter” seriously.

The COuriac single issue has long ago been transcended. It is your fixation with it that is unjust and quite out of comtext.

Its like measuring someone's entire career on the sole basis that they once farted ( and everyone does.).

Well, I guess some people are just fascinated with gas.

Governor Palin has subseqently filmed thousands of hours of video, quite successfully along with hundreds of interviews. Yet the only image you have is of the day she farted?Very interesting view you have there.Especially since there were virtually no negative consequences for any third party.

Obama on the other hand makes gaff after gaff. He cannot even speak in public without a teleprompter, and he will not do interviews unless all the questions are pre -approved. Palin never does that.And very rarely there is a glitch. That is the true context. She speaks freely while cowards like Obama refuse the risk.

So I do not think your fixation is warranted to be of such serious gravitas.Governor Palin has already gone up from there, many levels in expertise and experience.And she is very brave in her approach, and free. For that I will gladly laud the fact that she is human and occasionally passes gas.
