I am being to feel the kind of visceral reaction I used to feel when I would read the Boston Globe's "coverage" of NH issues back when I lived there (NH is my native state and I moved to go to grad school at 31). There is only only major daily paper in NH, the Union Leader, and William Loeb was the publisher for many years. Now true, he was a piece of work, often obnoxious and nasty towards candidates he opposed, and a battle raged between him and the Globe. But it was the Globe's attitude towards NH citizens that stuck in my craw, that we were a bunch of idiots whom you had to throw on their backs to get their shoes on them.

While you were living in NH, I was living in Boston. I know exactly what you are talking about.

I think the media has the same attitude towards Palin and her suppporters and I think it will provoke an unprecedented backlash.

Yes, I think the heartland does not desire to be told what to think on the subject of Sarah Palin. They feel quite capable of making up their own minds on that score.
