JimCrandellWow--in all my days I have never seen anyone who did not believe that the mainstream media was way left of center.
Dave--I disagree with some of your points.
1)I think Palin was chosen primarily to fire up the base. As an economic and social conservative, I was very lukewarm on McCain. I would have voted for him but without much enthusiasm.
2)I thought Palin was fine in the debates. She handled herself well and the fair and balanced station I watch thought she won.
3)The average American voter is not very bright or informed and is becoming less so all the time giving the changing demographics of the country. I think the Tina Fey skits have had a substantial effect on the polling in recent weeks--second only to the economic/market issues. They reinforce all the stereotypes put out by the liberal mainstream media that she is stupid and unquaified to be vp.
