Olberman Speaks

Keith Olberman did a special comment last night about Palin's comments on Obama being associated with terrorists. I know many people don't consider Countdown with Keith Olberman to be "real" news, but I still tune in. I believe Olberman says on national television what many, many Americans want to say themselves on TV but obviously can't. I think he also speaks for those who see through Palin's smoke-screen. He also says Palin is sleazy, especially after these comments about Obama being friends with someone from his childhood that might be associated with terrorist groups. It is sleazy, and I find nothing wrong with him saying this on his program. Olberman is right when he says that Palin has no idea what the America people are worried about right now, and neither does McCain. They are too wrapped up in trying to smear Obama that they aren't even addressing the issues anymore.

Quite frankly, I am profoundly confused as to why the McCain ticket is still where it's at in the polls. Huffington Post displays headlines that have Obama leading in the polls, and a lead in Ohio which is an important swing state. The media is not painting the McCain ticket in a postive light, but there are some who are still hard set on voting Republican, simply because they always have.
