sortie

Here's the deal.

He came from behind to win the GOP race so the media starts to make an icon of his wife.

Then he picks a VP and the media makes her an instant icon.

Then he mentions Joe the plumber and the media makes him an instant icon.

I probably left out a few.

So all McCain's supporter start talking about the icon instead of McCain.

I know more shit about Palin right now than I know about McCain.

And that is where his big downfall comes.

The question is did the media have a choice?
Well they either focused on other people as a fluke or they decided that McCain
didn't provide enough fodder for the news.
Either way, it definately killed his chances.

Obama never had any icons on his side take away the lime light.

Of course there are other factors(like 100 yrs in Iraq), but this would hurt any campaign.
