Does McCain's Refusal To Comment Help Obama?
Edited on Wed Sep-03-08 02:37 PM by demdog78
We all know the media has been in McCranky's back pocket, especially the AP, but does his refusal to answer questions regarding the Palin vetting process change things?

How willing will those reporters and pundits be to build McCreepy up when he is blaming them for... for.. essentially doing their jobs?

We saw what happened when Hillary did it. We saw when happened when Obama did it.

The media lashed back at them and beefed up negative spin.

I think this might have been the third best thing McChimp has done for the Obama campaign... besides running and selecting Palin that is.

2. The Media Will Do Whatever Its OWNERS Tell It To Do
Electing Repiglickins is job 1.

3. The media hates being insulted and ignored.
They will go after them like... well, all the animal metaphors are cliche. But McCain and especially Palin may never have an open press conference.
