Andrea Mitchell, the democrats do not know quite what to do with Palin, they are afraid to go after

her. The daughter and her husband's DUI when he was 22, frankly the public does not care about. They will have the fact they can talk about if she is qualified or not, her stands on the issues.

1. how is CNN on the job and not MSNBC?

Was Andrea really scared back into her place by that McCain campaign letter? She has been disappointing this week. Yeah, Andrea, there's absolutely NOTHING that we have found on Palin, except for like eight terrifying stories in the past 24 hours.

6. What was the McCain campaign letter? I must have missed that one.

thanks!

7. they attacked MSNBC for their "disturbing pattern of bias" and requested a meeting with their

network president...they specifically singled out Andrea Mitchell. Assholes. Here's the story from politico, which has a copy of the letter.

8. That's very interesting, thanks. What that tells me is that the McCain campaign

is absolutely panicked that a heavy hitter like Andrea Mitchell could even go as far as she did (which wasn't very far). Andrea also repeatedly denied the story about Obama not visiting the wounded troops in Germany. She was there and she was adamant over it. So the McCain people were already in a rant about her because they think her opinion weighs heavily with the public.

I can't help laughing. These people are so obvious. I'm enjoying their "pain."

2. As long as the media is asking about Palin, her scandals and

how the Dems should handle it, they are doing enough. The Dems can just watch as this unfolds. WHen mcpow's numbers start to go up (if they do), then the Dems can go on the offensive. Right now, the news is good.

3. Not exactly. Palin is such a disaster on

so many levels, we are just a little overwhelmed by all the wonderful possibilities: Dominionist, Secessionist, Ethically Impaired. So many scandals, so little time. Consider it more like a kid at a birthday party deciding which present to open first.

4. MSNBC seems to be totally behind the pack in their reporting on Palin.

Even ABC has reported more of these problems, and I don't expect them to ever report negatively on the Repukes. I'm not hearing any of these stories on MSNBC. Either they're horrible reporters or they are choosing not to report. How disappointing.

5. I hope it is covered on ABC world news tonight..

I've been watching Good Morning America and they ARE spending a lot of time on the Palin daughter pregnancy story, but the hosts are saying that this gives us a chance to "open up a dialog", and "educate their kids". No mention of how Palin would want it to be abstinence only dialog and abstinence only education. They did have a mom panel with four women (three of whom seemed to be republicans, one whom seemed to be a democrat), and the Democrat said while it was admirable that she was keeping the baby, that she was disturbed that the right is already turning Bristol into a martyr like figure.

9. Right. The public never cares about personal scandals..

nobody reads National Enquirer either....:eyes:

10. Someone needs to ask "Andrea" why Palin is off limits when Obama wasn't?

Why is that Andrea?
