The Death of Direct Sales

Al, I'm not sure which came first: the dearth of interviews or the liberal media attack machine climbing all over her. First question by Gibson to her: "Do you really think you have the experience to run the country?" She responded yes, he then inquired "Doesn't that take some hubris?" So basically whatever she answered to that first question was the wrong answer. She was then asked about the "Bush Doctrine" -- which of course is an amorphous nothing -- there is no such definite thing. I guess I'm still waiting for someone to ask Obama if it took some hubris to start a campaign for president when he had been elected Senator just days before.

As for your recollection as to the media's attacks on Biden v. Palin, Al, you have got to be kidding me. Surely you see the NY Times occasionally -- she's on the cover, getting ripped, EVERY SINGLE DAY. And that's just one outlet. The abuse heaped upon her has been like nothing I have ever seen. I'm not sure why she should agree to be interviewed when she knows full well what is going to happen to her (of course, some of her interviews and comments have been poor so she is part of the problem -- but she is hardly the entire problem). And how come we never hear about Biden's plagarism? Or his lobbyist son? How about those hairplugs and those big fake teeth? Silly crap, right? Not as silly as the liberal media basically turning her into a porn star (oh and repeatedly claiming that her youngest son is really her grandson -- or otherwise claiming that she caused Trig's Down Syndrome).

Someone in this thread complained about how conservative talk radio has previously impacted elections. But keep in mind that conservative radio's audience is nearly all Republicans. Somehow I doubt too many Obama voters are tuning into listen to Rush or Sean; however, many many Republicans read the NY Times and many other leading daily newspapers that are clearly in the tank for Obama.

Meanwhile, I'm hosting a two hour radio show on the most listened-to talk radio station in the country next week; I'll do my best to impact the vote.
