You talkin' to me, (my friend)?

The past few weeks have been a rollercoaster for a self proclaimed political junkie such as myself. I will be honest when I confess that the pick of Sarah Palin scared me. The enthusiasm that seemed to surround her was ferocious. She seemed untouchable. If anyone asked anything at all about her record, or her experience... well, you just about got your face ripped off, didn't you? No one could get close to her. Forget swiftboating, she wasn't even taking softballs. Perhaps this worked to her detriment. With her out of the spotlight, the media still needs to fill the void of Sarah Palin news. They went to Troopergate, and the bridge. There were people who revealed that maybe, just maybe she was feeding us a line. At this point, it feels like they have come down a bit. Several of McCain's TV spots have been denounced as lies. The ethics violations against Palin are starting to take hold, and her refusal to cooperate will end up fanning the flames. (Good point about this one, Guy) John McCain himself has been getting testy in a number of interviews lately, particularly on "Morning Joe." Hell, he even got grilled on "The View." I didn't see that one coming.
