John McCain spoke to staff and advisers working in the campaign War Room at the Minneapolis Hilton this afternoon, and forcefully vowed to fight hard to defend his runningmate Sarah Palin against attacks from the media and Democrats. “They’re not doing right by our vice president, they’re not doing right by the American people,” McCain said, according to a source in the room. “We’re gonna fight back, we’re gonna get ‘em.” McCain pounded his fist into his hand as he spoke, the source said, and made clear that he would be aggressively challenging those who are attacking Palin. McCain advisers expect that he will address the issue in his speech to the convention tomorrow evening.

Go Mac Go!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It’s not just ladies who don’t like seeing Palin bashed. Gentlemen take a special kind of umbrage as well [and many non-gents like me too].

But, but the msm said he was going to drop her off the ticket!!!

The only way for them to stop is if they see sizable deterioration in Obama’s position in the polls.

[mware]

Bennett and Newt lead the way last night.

Obama is a Kenyan-American, which chooses to be Kenyan, so who needs him? He is racist and does not represent out entire country, and black racists are No better than white racists.

[relictele]

The hell with the VP/Wed Pres/Thur schedule - McCain should be out there fighting Palin’s corner right now!

[madison10]

LOL That ain’t gonna happen. The MSM is in denial.

[machogirl]

The media used McCain when he suited their purposes, that being to trash conservatives. maybe the guy has finally woken up to the fact that the msm is a cancer on society. Here's praying that the next two months are filled with passion and decisiveness on McCain's part when dealing with those bloodsuckers.

[Mr. Silverback]

Go get 'em, John! Conservatives, it's time to be Russell Casse from Independence Day: "All right, Mr. President! Here we go!"

[chickpundit]

Maybe McCain’s legendary temper will come in handy this time. Go get ‘em John!

[aculeus]

Get their attention: Refuse to go on NBC (including MTP) because of the bias on MSNBC.

[housedeep]

this whole smear campaign is going to back fire so freaking big
this is truly history in the making...

[AuntB]

ah....geeeze.....they’ve ticked him off.....They’ve forgotten how stubborn he can be when he digs in.

Maybe I’m going to like his temper after all.

Thompson got the defense of Palin against the jackals off to a roaring start last night. I’m sure Palin will give a spectacular, well-received speech tonight, and McCain will defend her vigorously on Thursday.

The Drive-Bys still have absolutely no idea how much they have disgusted the American people over the last 72 hours, although I think they’re getting an inkling today.

I think this is a watershed moment in the decline and fall of mainstream, corporate, initialed media.

Oh they will not stop even then ... they are not smart enough to make the connection. The deterioration in the polls will be blamed on ... on ... yep racism!
