Media continues to show its bias

I haven't decided to vote for John McCain but I can't stand the MSM response to his announcement of Sarah Palin as his running mate. If even a fraction of the concern over credentials to be commander in chief had been posed about the nomination of Barack Obama for president that are being thrown at Sarah Palin for Vice President he would never had gotten the nomination which he so richly does not deserve. Clearly, their VP choice has as much experience as our presidential choice. Being a mayor and governor certainly matches state senate and senate. What's more, she actually has positions she's taken and stuck to without wafting this way and that according to the latest political wind.

I don't agree with Palin's socially conservative positions but I also don't see the need to trash her as Didi Meyers apparently does in Vanity Fair, labeling her a female Dan Quayle. Quayle was a not-too-bright guy whose verbal skills stood unequaled until George W. Bush opened his mouth. Having seen Palin speak this afternoon at the Dayton rally, I would say she's smart and articulate with a very natural speaking style.
