The Progressive Puppy: Ouch! That's Gotta Smart: Newspapers Crucify Palin: "'Out of nowhere, and without proper vetting, the impetuous McCain picked Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate. She quickly proved grievously under-equipped to step into the presidency should McCain, at 72 and with a history of health problems, die in office. More than any single factor, McCain's bad judgment in choosing the inarticulate, insular and ethically challenged Palin disqualifies him for the presidency.'

Oh my... that's kind of harsh, wouldn't you say? Must be that nasty, liberal, elite, latte-sipping, argula-munching, East Coast, not pro-America media, right?

As in the reddest state in the country. Obama has now earned the endorsements of almost 65 newspapers around the country, including some of the most conservative."
