Hopefully, one of Barak F. Obama's shills will be asked why the Messiah is MIA in the flooded areas of his state. He is still getting paid as a Senator isn't he?
Notwithstanding all the Sunday Talk Show bizz bizz bizz, the real story is the emergence of Alaska Gov Sarah Palin as McCain's likely Veep (she's the center of McCain's new energy policy and McCain's effort to attract Hillary voters).
Yet, I bet you won't hear Palin's name even mentioned once by the liberal Sunday talking heads. You see, they are deathly afraid of Palin. They know what she will give McCain and the GOP (and would like to wish her away).
