December 21, 200817 yr 1. You can't ignore the fact that Palin overshadowed the nominee for President. Has that ever happened? 2. To answer your question, no. See #1. Is that a no?
December 21, 200817 yr Is that a no? Sorry about that. I mean to start #2 with a "no" and then refer back to #1.

December 21, 200817 yr Why is this a national news story? Does the media really think the American people care about the mother of the guy who's dating a former VP candidate's daughter?
December 21, 200817 yr None of this should have been a story, but I'm old fashioned. I don't think that Gov Palin's daughter's boyfriend should have been paraded before the country. That is what sparked the interest.

That is what sparked the interest.The vultures of the Obama campaign and national media descended on Wasilla and Juneau well before the Palins made the boyfriend's name public. Blaming Sarah Palin for the media's continuous politically motivated mud-slinging assaults is ridiculous.

December 21, 200817 yr What was unique about this election was the brazen partisanship displayed by the mainstream media. All pretense of objective reporting was discarded. Unfortunately, the media has also decided to start the 2012 Obama reelection campaign four years early. BTW, you did not answer my question. Do you recall similar politically-motivated media attacks on any previous losing VP candidate's family or friends after the election? I can't answer for Clyde but I agree with you, it's hard to remember such. Would Muskie be considered a possibility with the Kanuck letter in late '71 or early '72? Then again, I think he was a candidate again by then.
December 22, 200817 yr It is interesting that more attention has been focused on this story than the Palin's church being burned by an arsonist in the national media.
