McCain, for awhile, courted the press all the way through the republican primaries and well into 2008. McCain has never been intimidated by the press I will give him that, and even warmingly referred to them as his "base". I think the media was a contributor to McCain success in the primaries especially considering his dismal 4th place "fantastic night" finish in Iowa. That following Sunday guest starring on Meet the Press, was none other than John McCain, not Huckabee, not Romney nor Thompson who finished 1st, 2nd and 3rd respectively. Foot rubbing Chris Matthews of MSNBC had this to say about McCain in a 1/28 interview: "Senator McCain, you know you're in my heart." That about sums it up.

So, why is it taking the McCain campaign two weeks to message complicity into ABCs format of tomorrow's interview with Palin. I guess "tough questions" need time to simmer into interview tenderness. Perhaps it is as has been previously stated: she has to "sit down with McCain and get familiar with his strategy and policies before getting in front of the media". I dont think thats the case with Biden.

Did you even read the link you posted?

It clearly says she was all for the bridge project when it was going to be federally funded and she was pandering for votes, but then eventually killed it when it was clear the state would have to bear the full cost.

Sounds like she'd have no problem spending my tax dollars instead of hers

If this is the kind of Republican reform you're after, I think I'll pass.

I read the link. She was for the bridge when running for Govenor but against it as the cost became excessive. She killed the project. That's what happened. She has left out some detail I'll admit, but what politician hasn't stretched the truth a little. I find it pathetic that you feel she can't do what Obama has made a career doing.

The cost only became excessive because her own people were going to have to pay for it!

Read it again, you're in the mud now.

And to think this is what the GOP is all in a tizzy about??? Man the DT's are going to be bad.

Think about how stiff the competition was to become Editor of The Harvard Law Review.
Now do it black.
