Mmmm, I think just about any choice McCain made would have brought about a "damning" story mere hours later. It\'s how the system works. The only way he could have avoided it would be choosing someone that had gone through the gauntlet already. The system has dirt on everyone. It\'s the WD-40 of the system.
I wish I remembered where I read this, so I could source it, but I read an article recently stating that, within 24 hours of Palin being announced as McCain\'s VP, "the Internet" was reporting no less than 16 different scandals of which she was a part.
"The Internet", of course, could be any website from CNN.com to the rumors thread on dotinfo, but it\'s still a noteworthy fact. The only thing that the American media loves more than putting a famous person on a pedestal is destroying that pedestal once it can\'t get any taller.
Looking back, I sort of come off as a hardline Republican in this thread. While that\'s not the case, I do believe that there is liberal bias in the media (excluding FoxNews, which nobody takes seriously anyway), which is why I often find myself defending Republican politicians.
