    A few things

    First off, MacK, that was brilliant. That could be it's own article here.

    Secondly, most people have no idea who Palin's talking about except the political junkies, so this seems like the cliche of Al Queada wants Obama to win, Kerry loved Saddam Hussein, etc. line of attack that isn't selling as well as it used to. It's tired. I bet more than half of Palin's crowd had no idea of what she was talking about, just wanted a chance to Boo Obama.

    Thirdly, at first I hated how nasty the primaries got, and thought it would have left Hillary or Obama bruised. It did, but I think it's GOOD he went through it. We already know about Ayers, Wright, etc. It's not like the RW couldn't/wouldn't have found these things out on their own. Now if we see Wright footage (or Ayers attacks) it's old news. FOX can only run the clips again so many times and even their viewers will change the channel. The rest of the MSM already did those stories and won't find anything "new" or exciting in them.
