Be sure to read through the chapters. A lot of good material there.

I must add my voice to yours that that was the most fascinating bit about the election I've read to date, BY FAR.

The part that got me really hot and bothered was this:

[quote:257diixl]At the GOP convention in St. Paul, Palin was completely unfazed by the boys' club fraternity she had just joined. One night, Steve Schmidt and Mark Salter went to her hotel room to brief her. After a minute, [b:257diixl]Palin sailed into the room wearing nothing but a towel, with another on her wet hair.[/b:257diixl] She told them to chat with her laconic husband, Todd. "I'll be just a minute," she said.[/quote:257diixl]

I've never wanted to be a towel so badly in my life!

Just on the topic of Liberal media, FOX News, for example has now taken a very liberal approach.
Pretty quick. :p

They did the exact same thing after Bush was elected. When they first started they were about as unbiased a media source as an American news station can really be. Then after 9-11-01 they started taking an increasingly far-right stance until the last few years when Foxe News has been pretty much self-parody of far-right neoconservative thought. If they really do start sliding to the left, which remains to be seen if they really do, then they'd just be doing the same thing they did almost 8 years ago.
