Hillary didn't exactly gain much

by complaining about the media, did she?

I understand the Democratic primary electorate isn't the same as the general electorate, but still...

Al, I never thought I'd say this, but I think you're chicken littling. People won't vote for McCain simply because they pity Palin for the vicious media coverage. McCain will not win on November 4 by telling voters: "Remember how mean the media were to us back in Septemer?"

I think Palinmania will have blown over in a week or so, simply because there aren't any more scandals left to cover. The scandals (especially the abuse of power ones) will have settled in the back of voters' heads though and have caused lingering doubts about her. McCain-Palin, and not Obama-Biden, will have emerged as the risky choice.
