Bumper Sticker

Thank you Charlie Gibson for your extensive interview of Sarah Palin. I'd like to see the same questions asked of Obama, but so far, it's only been the Palin extravaganza.

Years ago, Mayor Antonio Marino of Lynn, MA, in response to a question that I asked him of a negative reference in the newspaper said,"It really doesn't matter what say about you in the newspaper, as long as they spell your name right."
~
At the time, I disagreed with him, but, then again, he had the longest mayoral run in the City of Lynn until Chip Clancy came along. Marino's name was in the paper a lot.

I think that the Gibson interview is one long bumper sticker for Palin. If the naysayers were mining for soundbites, they didn't strike a rich vein. People are already polarized around Palin, so the media exposes their own biases more than hers when they dig for the dirt.

Course, I doubt if Tony Marino, a staunch Democrat, would be on the McCain bandwagon.
