If Tim Russert did not die, no way McCain would have picked Palin

[TeamJordan23]

Because he would know that she would not be able to survive a Meet The Press interview with him. Now Palin has to deal with soft weights like Charlie Gibson who will essentially give her a pass on anything.

1. But she's not going to do MTP anyway.

2. As I said in another thread: Russert was pretty useless.

Even by Al Franken's standards (who would make fun of him for being so "gullible".).

3. I'll bet you can argue two or three different ways how that's not a ghoulish thought.

But it's a little ghoulish.

4. and Tom Brokaw...

and while I thought Timmie was waaay too in the hip pocket of the Iraq war mongers, get away from that subject and he would ask far tougher "on the spot" questions, and always had a video clip of you saying something that you now disagree with or accuse the other side of doing.

McCain might still have picked Palin, but no way would they let her on that show.

5. She couldn't deal with "The View." If no one holds her hand, she's lost. nt
