Palin Pick Leads to Media Revolution

From the (NY TYimes owned) International Herald Tribune: Palin fuses politics and motherhood in new way A story that's not an out-and-out hit piece. Did you see how well that pig flew?

And this from Howie Kurtz at the Washington Post:
MSNBC Drops Olbermann, Matthews as News Anchors

And the UK Times Online has some outraged comments in their article Russell Brand calls George Bush a 'retard' at MTV awards

USA Today: Poll: Convention lifts McCain over Obama

McCain leads Democrat Barack Obama by 50%-46% among registered voters, the Republican's biggest advantage since January and a turnaround from the USA TODAY poll taken just before the convention opened in St. Paul. Then, he lagged by 7 percentage points.


The convention bounce has helped not only McCain but also attitudes toward Republican congressional candidates and the GOP in general.

"The Republicans had a very successful convention and, at least initially, the selection of Sarah Palin has made a big difference," says political scientist Larry Sabato of the University of Virginia. "He's in a far better position than his people imagined he would be in at this point."

Thank you drive-by-media. Without you this bump in the polls would not have been possible. Now buzz off.
