Palin Paparazzi Possibilities

The Sunday Times reports that a McCain insider says that a Bristol Palin wedding before the election would be "fantastic", because it would "shut down the race for a week".

I have heard multiple comments by McCain reps that the media is glaringly liberal, and can't be trusted to be objective with the McCain campaign. Shouldn't those statements be tied to actual examples? EVERY DAY is a new ballgame in politics, and we see evidence of that, well, every day. With small things able to cause massive shifts in public opinion, why isn't the "Straight Talk Express" flooding the air and sound waves with positive talking points?

Surely, if Sarah Palin was able to get elected as Governor of Alaska, she could hand-pick media to have a press conference on something very specific; that she could truly hold her own on. And structured correctly, she could decline questions that did not relate from the agreed upon subject. And why, why why was she not out there, pimping for McCain after the debate? She could always say: "I don't recall that exact exchange, I'd have to see the transcript". Michael Crowley, on The Stump blog from The New Republic, brings this up.
