Of course we can and I can assure you that if there were any significant issues related to John McCain and Sarah Palin the mainstream media and the hordes of Obama lawyers (remember him, the reformer) will make sure we know all about it. The fact remains, and I state for the umpteenth time, the problem is the media is NOT DOING THEIR JOB! Even Mark Penn has recently stated that the media is not doing their job. If they were, we would know all about Obama and could make a decision about whether he is someone worthy of the office.

As for why McCain chose Palin I assume you are not serious. Of course he has chosen a VP that he believes will do something he has been unable to do, excite the base and appeal to independents, women and the undecided. Do you think Obama picked Biden because of his good looks? He chose him because their internal polling indicated that the biggest hesitation with Obama is his lack of experience. His miscalculation was not picking Hillary which would have blunted the inexperience argument, would have cemented his ownership of women and probably sealed the deal. He just doesn't have the political instincts and suffers from delusions on grandeur to have made that decision.

So now we have Obama running against Palin which is a huge mistake on their part. My view is the Democrat party were convinced that they would win the White House regardless of the nominee. They have miscalculated and are not in panic mode. I am still of the opinion that Obama has a better than even chance of winning. Having said that, if he continues on the same track he will be fighting an uphill battle. And this will cascade down to congressional candidates as well, which is what we are seeing in the polls in a big way.
