A VP pick ought not to cause a significant portion of the electorate to say, “No freaking way!” but that’s exactly what happened this year. What you really mean is that a VP pick should talk only to Fox and talk radio. She was harmed by an MSM out to destroy her, not cover her. May I just remind you, when the freshman Senator John Edwards, who had NO prior political experience before the Senate, was picked for VP in 2004, Charlie Gibson asked him how he felt about Republican attacks on him and did they upset him. That's true. You can look it up. He wasn't asked a single thing on foreign policy. When Sarah Palin was picked, Gibson looked down his nose like a disapproving professor and demanded she define the Bush doctrine for him on TV, and lay out her foreign policy qualifications. What kind of coverage do you call that? Is this your notion of objective journalism? Just as a reminder, Obama has never been asked for HIS foreign policy qualifications, and he has never been vetted. We had all better hope he doesn't have any serious skeletons in his closet, the kind he can be blackmailed over. Because the one thing we know for sure is, the press never looked for any.
