You Know That Somebody is Having a Bad Day...

.... when the Fox News anchor starts using the "you didn't seriously just try to defend McCain/Palin did you?" look on their more traditional pundits.

Whether or not this week marks a sea change in the campaign is still anybody's guess.  What I will say is that the news stations, even Fox, have shifted into pack mode where it comes to making fun of McCain and Palin at the moment. 

Naturally Fox to a lesser extent, but I can't help wondering if there is another shoe to drop from the RNC if this keeps up.

Question: Is there any precedent for a VP candidate to walk away and open it up for another one?

Hi, I'm Dave and I'm comfortably off...

It's not always been the case and I've been through periods where making ends meet was a pretty serious problem, but generally speaking our household income is good. 

The reason I bring this up is I've been involved in a fairly cantakerous and nasty discussion over on a Blog about the nature of income and tax and I've noticed something.  A lot of the McCain/Palin supporters who are desperate for their "tax cut" ought to practise what they preach to others.

Quit whinging about the tax you pay and get on your bike and earn more money then, or is it harder than that perhaps?  Perhaps some people struggle with it more than others.

Don't moan at me about the healthcare for your 6 kids when you're voting for a system which means that the healthcare for your 6 kids isn't even covered in your taxes.

Jeez...

If you're going to pretend to be a right wing republican, at least live the dream for crying out loud!
