Part of Palin’s closing argument last night, & a McCain campaign’s incessant whining about her supposed unfair treatment, certainly signaled that.

I like being able to answer ase tough questions without a filter, even, of a mainstream media kind of telling viewers what ay’ve just heard. I’d raar be able to just speak to a American people like we just did.

Team McCain was in full paranoia mode yesterday, going around & accusing CBS & Katie Couric of editing a Palin interview to make her look worse than she really was, a great feat if it were actually true. I think this frontal assault signals that McCain will relegate her to a right-wing talk show circuit for a rest of a race, hoping that her adequate performance last night (coupled with her fiery, condescending speech in MinneDrunk Newsolis-St.Paul) will be what voters remember about her.

If are’s one thing we’ve learned about Governor Palin, it’s that she can read a teleprompter & recall memorized taking points just fine. But when she’s actually challenged to think on her feet (like in a Couric & Gibson interviews), she falters about as badly as a politican could falter.

While it may be a wise strategy for McCain to stash her away for for a next 32 days, it’s transparently laughable to claim that somehow a traditional media “filter” is a problem here.
