Palin was able to meet the American public without having to genuflect to the hubris of the media. Fineman and the rest of his collegues at MSNBC have appointed themselves the final authority in the selection of candidates and none of these people are elected. Palin made a very good first impression on the viewing public and that is going to make the press' job more difficult in finding ways to criticize her. The dirt digging has already begun as they play catch-up and it's doubtful that Palin will get the same pass they gave Obama for drug use and his association with a rogue's gallery of unsavory characters in Chicago politics. Biden has been in Washington for over 35 years and he has been as much of a contributor to the mess we have as anyone but the worst citicism he receives is that he talks too much.. I wish her well in the days ahead - as she now has to deal with the coarsest, most unethical, self serving segment of the American society - the media. It may ultimately work to her advantage, however, as the media is rapidly losing credibility with the American public.
