But hold on. Did Barack Obama's team properly vet Democratic VP nominee Joe Biden? It seems that as soon as the Obama campaign strummed on their harp of righteousness a tune about McCain being tainted by association with lobbyists, they soon themselves became vulnerable to a similar charge. But media has given bare lip service to the cozy relationship between Sen. Biden and his son's governmental affairs firm.

The firm has as one of its name partners a William Oldaker. He served as general counsel for Ted Kennedy's 1980 presidential bid. Oldaker reportedly received funds from Biden for services, even as Oldaker was lobbying Congress on behalf of other clients.

But hey, these are just sophisticated people, right? No need to investigate. Instead, many -- not all -- in media are hellbent on beating the living daylights out of Sarah Palin for her every transgression, no matter how small, instead of giving credit to a woman who scrapped her way to the top of a state practically overrun with the same "lunch pail" demographic that media lights claim to respect so much.

Do I think Sarah Palin was a great choice? I have no idea. I don't know enough about her yet. Who can tell if she will give McCain an edge?

But this much I know: Barack Obama and his team are a heap smarter than the half-wits spending their time trying to dig up dirt on a woman who hunts moose and raises kids who misstep on the way to adulthood. Obama knows that this is just asking for trouble for the Democrats with an American public that is just "unsophisticated" enough not to be gulled by the sophisticates.

Throw in that McCain is standing by his woman, and what you have is anything but Dan Quayle, Part Two.
