And BHO whines that he's been through it "for 19 months"....yeah....right... BHO and crew are running scared.. When was the last time you ever heard of a presidential candidate of one party, constantly being compared to the VP choice of another candidate? Guess BHO knows he can't compare to McCain, so he tries to compare to his VP pick,,, and looses there too. That apology lacks 2 important things:

1) Not loud enough
2) Not often enough

Leftists go to anti-US foreign sites like the BBC for news because they think Iraq is Verdun, Stalingrad, Dunkirk, and more all combined. The 911 truthers think that the truth isn't being told by the media. The 2000 election whiners still think it was a FOX news conspiracy that led to the problems (no, couldn't possibly be two nearly identical candidates). Pick your issue, it doesn't matter. People don't trust today's media, and Palin is a catalyst for all of that to vent. Nothing could have been more perfect than to have the NYT (which ran hundrds of Haditha and Abu Ghraib stories on the front page, and none of the results closer than page8) to run 3 stories about Sarah's children on pg1.

And, they are really looking into Sarah's life -- like what about Obama? What about Biden? They don't care about those wackos. Why isn't the media hounding Chicago or Delaware (or Scranton PA)? Instead, we need to learn that Sarah's husband had a DUI 22 years ago, she forgot to transfer her fishing license over. She fired some people while mayor. A former librarian doesn't like her. No books were banned Sarah just asked about it. Big deal. (I would like to ban offensive rap music and overly violent video games, myself, but that is another story) I didn't write this but found it entertaining. Then came Sarah. Mom, athlete, hunter, started out local, worked her way up, no wealthy family, no president husband, no Yale law school, just integrity guts and character. Stay classy libs. Show your TRUE colors.

The BHO long term associations with Wright, Rezko, Ayers and Pfleger alone would be a scandal if he were a Republican. Actually I think a congressional investigation is in order. I am still waiting for a clear presentation of BHO's stand of terrorism/security, judges, and taxes (for starters) but all I hear is how great he is and how bad the opposition is. BTW Do all these things we are not supposed to talk about mean he against free speech?

They made a calculated decision (seemingly as one organism, though I'm sure - sure? - it really wasn't so simple) that Palin was a fringe lunatic that could be squashed easily and quickly before she attained any significant mind-share. They failed. They misjudged her, how the public would perceive her, and their own ability to make the head-shot. Some will continue to snap at her backside because they see her as a real threat to the legitimacy of their golden calf, but she's now reached a level at which only those who either see no adverse consequences to maintaining the attack, or who think they really can bring her all the way down, will try.
