I don’t think the media and the Left (redundant - I know) have completely grasp what has really happened here. Assuming McCain wins he will most likely only serve one term meaning that Palin will be the candidate in 2012. The Left will have no choice but to run Hillary making the first Female President inevitable regardless of who wins. Now that’s “Change”.
I think some haven't. But those who have are terrified. That a blue-collar gal with a degree from a state school can defy party politics and the well-connected and overturn the apple cart from which the elite and the media mandarins feed.
