McCain didn't vet Sarah Palin...so now the Press is going to do it for him.
And they already know there is juicy stuff that McCain didn't follow up on.

Not only is the MSM onto things like troopergate and Alaskan Independence, but the National Enquirer is on the case of Bristol and her BabyDaddy.

This is going to be a more thorough vet than we had imagined.

Some people in Alaska seem to think a lot more will probably be dug up. We probably haven't seen anything yet.

2. I am curious how we could top this week's revelations.
Or will it be more drip drip drip?

I'm guessing more abuse of power.

3. The pathetic thing about the Press is that it takes the equivalent of about 20 undeniably huge

two-by-fours hitting them square between the eyes regarding any McGOP disgrace, before even they can no longer pretend they don't have a job to do.

Compare all this to the WEEKS they spent at Defcon-1 on some old video clips of Rev Wright.

They vetted Obama mercilessly all the way back to his kindergarden papers.

4. I really think the pregnancy was the thing that blew the lid off.
That is when you realize John McCain didn't know bunk about her.

5. Wrong. The bloggers did the vetting, and in record time.
The MSM is just gonna report what WE dug up, and take full credit for it.

Although the Alaska contingent certainly could.

8. I guess they won't go into their opp research unless they need to.
I think they just sit back and relax.

10. As I said, Palin got herself out of the race. What a disaster. That's why I love Biden, no dirt. n/t
