Harwood and Martin: McCain and Palin attacking the media= Desperate and they know they are behind
John Harwood and Michelle Martin in MSNBC are taking the GOP to task for blaming the media as a sign that they are behind. They said that every campaign that is losing always blames the media. They pointed out that Obama has answered every questions posed to him. After tonight's speech by McCain then his flawed ticket will have to answer to the media...the McCain-Palin ticket will have to go on the campaign trail where they will not have any cover from a tightly scripted narrative. In addition, the questions will get louder and harder as more evidence comes forward about McCain's monumental mistake in picking Palin for VP

10. That's a good one...
Winners vs the Whiners. So accurate and if we had a free media there'd be no problem on who was going to come out victorious.

2. Who is going to be Palin's coach
Is she going to travel with McCain every step of the way and just stand by his side like a lap dog? If they turn her loose to campaign on her own they are going to have to have someone whispering in her ear how to answer tough questions.

9. Palin aka "Delores Umbridge"
Will not answer any media questions unless the questions are submitted in advance.... Thats why the so called MSM is being bashed... Smart Machiavellian move. Will the undecideds fall for the "bash the media" routine?

3. I LOVED it when Michel said, "It depends upon whose identity you're talking about . . ."
"The Republicans have always played identity politics, it's just that the identity has always been about white males."

LOVED it! Too many people think that, unless you're talking about minorities and women, their coverage is color-/gender-blind, as if white males are so much the norm that they are not a group themselves. Michel nailed Chuck Todd on this!
