Sharks are sharks. Amongst the feeding frenzy, they'll find a way to convince their masters that McCain would be better off without her. She's going down.

All that hand wringing early on, that nominating Obama would be bring a 1972 style defeat. It still might happen ...to John Mcain.

1. I don't think the MSM is acting like sharks. They are just asking questions all
the while they give equal time to Republicns and Democrats. And they let the Repubes go on & on about sexism.

3. I'm not a great fan of Bork as a verb.

Some people use it like 'swiftboat' to connote an hysterical or under-handed frenzy over someone's record. (Not saying that the OP is or isn't.)

Judge Bork went down for sound reasons. He was, in fact, a frigging nut. (And has demonstrated that through the years since.)
