And people DID call Hillary a whiner, which is exactly the point. When you or your campaign tries to complain about unfair treatment, you get called a whiner. I think Palin was absolutely right about that.<BR/><BR/>If Palin herself had commented about the sexist coverage, she would have been labeled a whiner. The McCain campaign itself is being accused of whining. But it helps that the entire Republican party got behind Sarah Palin and called out the media and didn't leave it to the McCain people or Palin herself to defend her. If there had been more people outside of Hillary's campaign willing to make those accusations rather than coming from the campaign itself, it would have been a lot better. But everyone was shilling for Obama, so there was nothing she could do.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04123037763701913101noreply@blogger.com
