Something occurred to me as I've been quietly observing the media conflagration that is Sarahgate:
If Barack Obama were running as a successful first-term governor of Illinois, he'd be leading in the polls by 57 points, John McCain would be his running mate, and Hillary Clinton would this week be accepting the Republican nomination. Oh…And journalists would be making goo-goo gah-gah sounds and funny faces at Obama’s grandbaby, born to his heretofore unknown illegitimate daughter. (Hey, it was college and it was the 1980s. You know how those things go. At least he’s now taking responsibility.)
Of course some of that is mere conjecture, but I'll stand by the theory nonetheless.
