    Hey Salon, Knock it off with Palin-Watch

    McCain's biggest weakness (electorally speaking) is the relative apathy and demoralization of republicans. Look, we all know here what Palin is and how bad she'd be. But the more you harp on it, the more red meat you provide McCain to incense and rally his troops with. Let it go, focus on the issues. If you play the 'character' game, you're playing to McCain's strength.
