McCain Seals Obama’s Fate with Veep Pick Palin
August 29, 2008
Politics
By selecting a fresh young face from the Republican party, Alaska Governor since 2006, Sarah Palin, John McCain has all but sealed the deal on being elected the next President of the United States. With Obama slipping in the polls, a jaded left-wing base due to consistent about-face policies since the primaries, and an even more confused liberal constituency after declining to put Hillary Clinton in the back seat of the POTUS “dream team,” the McCain campaign has lined up to be the real party of change by selecting a woman for the position of Vice President - the first time a woman has ever been nominated for a real chance at winning.
The pick reinforces McCain’s stance as a “maverick” in political realms, as Palin has often stood out from the Republican crowd and refused to toe in for the sake of party unity — a quality which appeals to both younger voters and independents. Selecting Palin also essentially cinches women’s votes across the country, since an aging McCain would leave a highly capable and idealistic woman in the most powerful political position on the globe were McCain unable to fulfill a four-year term. Another key positive to a McCain-Palin ticket is that Palin provides a fresh, young, beautiful face to an otherwise aged “look” — something the Obama camp has held a monopoly on, until now.
With Obama’s jaded liberal base and gaped-jaw leftist observers still stunned over the realization that Obama’s brand of change seems to be little more than rhetoric after months of policy flip-flops and a mired-in-Washington Biden selection for V.P., the McCain campaign has brilliantly solidified the slippery slope of media favoritism and side-stepped the snowball rolling faster and faster down the media mountain.
While independents have never much cared for either party, this move paves the way for real change in American politics, brought to you by the Republicans. Who would have thought?

Entire Year of Biden History Removed from Wikipedia Since Pick

h/t to Tom Blumer at NewsBusters for pointing this out and having the foresight to cache Wikipedia’s page prior to the Senator’s selection for Obama’s V.P.
Among the information that has been removed, is a section on 2004 which accurately noted that Biden discouraged his own nomination for John Kerry’s V.P. in favor of … *drumroll* … John McCain. Check out the article over at NewsBusters.

Old Media Flounders with Ohio U.S. Representative Stephanie Tubbs Jones Death Reports
August 20, 2008
PowWow
While the Associated Press refers to this SNAFU with quotes calling for soul searching, this is a concertedly bizarre accounting of things.
How exactly do news outlets explain their reliance on “anonymous source,” “on background,” information about a Congresswoman’s death - when the story turns out to be dead wrong? Better yet, how do “Democratic officials speaking on condition of anonymity” explain that they knew the Congresswoman had passed away, prior to her actual passing?
Condolences to the family, and peace to Mrs. Jones.
