** Here's the Problem **
We all know the Obama/Biden ticket is the better ticket for 95% of America, and we all know that the McCain/Palin ticket is gimmickry (i.e, smoke and mirrors), a campaign built around rhetoric and nothing more.

The problem is that the media is eating it up like a dog an a T-bone and isn't doing anything remotely close to "investigative" reporting as they had done to Obama the past 19 months. The media (any one of them) could be looking into no less than a dozen stories on Palin right now that they would without question find a story to expose her .... but they're not.

They're playing into it and in my mind .....misleading the American people down a path that could potentially have catastrphic effects on our country in the next 4 years.

3. The media is selling soap, and they go with the story that sells soap
Do you really think Palin's suds will last?
