Palin; Good or Bad Caboose for the McCain Train
Most people agreed that John McCain's choice of Sarah Palin as his Vice-Presidential nominee was completely out of left field. In some sense his choice was a wise one because he gained voter support that he might have had a tough time getting otherwise. McCain had accumulated voters such as women, certain environmentalist, and Alaskans. The majority of the media sources have portrayed her as an unintelligent, incompetent, hockey mom who has limited politcal experience. I think that the media has given her such a negative image and has exagerated her flaws. It will be interesting to see if Palins affect on the campaign will bring the McCain to the white house or back to Alaska.

I definitely agree. It will be really interesting to see how it turns out because I would assume the media's statements would have a negative impact on the outcome for Palin and McCain, but who knows what will happen.
I think it's really sad that the media has been so critical of Palin. They should have been critical of both presidential candidates if they were going to be fair. When they are getting so nitpicky as to talk about how much she spends on clothing or do an upclose shot of her on a cover of a magazine showing flaws, is that really portraying the campaign or just tearing a person down?
