Our local news station, who up until now had been dutifly reporting the various manufactured Sarah Palin controversies, was sayin positive things, and running clips from her speech last night at the Republican National Convention, many of which were certainly not favorable to Obama. They even ran her rant about how he wanted to raise taxes, which will play well among Republicans and Independents in this area. She really hit it out of the park with that speech. Unfiltered and unpaid coverage on a news station at rush hour in a major media market is something that can’t be discounted. Old Joe Biden has his work cut out for him indeed.
