Is the McCain campaign starting to unraveling?[the question is rhetorical] What Whitman is saying is very reasonable but its nearly the opposite of what another McCain spokesperson said this AM.

McCain's National Co-Chair: Media Coverage Of Palin Is "Completely Fair," Not Sexist

By Greg Sargent - September 3, 2008, 2:28PM

Meg Whitman, McCain's national campaign co-chair and former CEO of e-Bay, veered off message today in an interview with Fox News, describing the media vetting of Palin as "completely fair" and saying that there hasn't really been any sexism to speak of in the coverage.

"I actually think it's completely fair for the media to vet Sarah Palin," Whitman said, adding that it was "the right thing to do" for the media to dig into the background of someone who is "running for the highest office in the land."

Asked directly whether there had been any media sexism, she replied: "I wouldn't say there really has."

Someone should tell this to McCain senior adviser Steve Schmidt, who actually complained today that the press was "on a mission to destroy" Palin.
