This is still a blog rumour, but it would be an interesting twist: Ben Smith's Blog: Palin raises $8 million for Obama - Politico.com

My problem is this: why isn't there anyone in the mainstream media calling people out on their hypocracy like this? Why are we only seeing this on a comedy show? Is the media so afraid of being labelled "biased" or "liberal" that they refuse to even report on basic inconsistencies now?
indeed, the cartoon network has turned into the news.
sorry.
i'll just show myself out.
Does love light up your Christmas tree, Irvine?
it always has. but then i always blow a damn fuse.
Where do we go?
Sorry, dude. You missed the moment. You're too late.
Now I'm stuck in a moment and I can't get out of it.
This could go all night.
No, but you should be labelled naive, smarter politicians means that they will steal more from you with impunity.I agree for the most part, it's unfortunate, but true. But then again I couldn't respect anyone if they started playing to that demographic, it's part of the reason I have lost some respect for so many because they feel like they have to...
Is there anyway around it? Do we just have to weight for the national IQ to rise in order to have smarter government? In order to get real change?
I'm sure someone will label me elitist soon.

Clinton aides: Palin treatment sexist - John F. Harris and Beth Frerking - Politico.comSarah Palin found some unlikely allies Wednesday as leading academics and even former top aides to Hillary Rodham Clinton endorsed the Republican charge that John McCain’s running mate has been subject to a sexist double standard by the news media and Democrats.
Georgetown University professor Deborah Tannen, who has written best-selling books on gender differences, said she agrees with complaints that Palin skeptics — including prominent voices in the news media — have crossed a line by speculating about whether the Alaska governor is neglecting her family in pursuit of national office.
“What we’re dealing with now, there’s nothing subtle about it,” said Tannen. “We’re dealing with the assumption that child-rearing is the job of women and not men. Is it sexist? Yes.”
“There’s no way those questions would be asked of a male candidate,” said Howard Wolfson a former top strategist for Clinton’s presidential campaign.
The sexism charge was hurled with new intensity Wednesday afternoon by McCain surrogates, all women, at a news conference just hours before made her acceptance speech here - a speech in which she said this about the media and Washington elite: "I'm not going to Washington to seek their good opinion - I'm going to Washington to serve the people of this country."
The tense encounter with reporters showed how McCain’s team has abandoned all pretense that this convention is about anything but Palin, her résumé and her wildly unexpected ascension to the GOP ticket.
A choice that was intended to shake up the race did so with more ferocity than McCain ever intended. The mother of five — with one pregnant teenage daughter and an infant son with Down syndrome — has joined a parade of personalities from Anita Hill to O.J. Simpson to Monica Lewinsky to become a cultural flash point.
Getting ready for a Hillary vs. Palin 2012 election?
an Obama win rewards the sexism
It rewards a well formulated and fought campaign from Obama.
