It Is No Longer About Any SINGLE Scandal, the Narrative Has Moved On
We are in full oput media swarm now. The story isn't about single scandals, it's about a growing list of scandals and controversies. A list that seems to grow longer as the hours pass.

Intrade is taking bets on her nomination being withdrawn.

The coup de grace was the media narrative broaching the subject of her withdrawal. The seeds were sewn on Larry King last night by Ed Schultz. It's taken hold as John Roberts asked a McCain spokesperson whether withdrawal was a possibility.

Folks, we are into a major mdeia feeding frenzy. It's no longer about a "bold pick by a maverick", it's now about a "clueless move by an inept campaign.

1. HuffPo has withdrawal front and center; Drudge pouting.
Something must be right in the world.

2. Yup.. we put the chum in the water, and the sharks showed up
once they started really looking, they saw all the other stuff that was safer for THEM to investigate, and that's all we really wanted anyway.but without the spectacle, they would never have bothered
