Has McCain Finally Let Palin Off Her Leash?

Bloomberg News is reporting that Palin is now out on the stump criticizing Obama's association with terrorist and Weatherman founder Bill Ayers.

It's about time. McCain and everybody else ought to get a clear idea of who is exciting in this campaign.

I personally don't trust these main stream media polls that say America thought Biden did better at the debate. Why? Because pollsters often lie (remember last election exit pollsters announced Kerry would win Ohio by a landslide, when in fact Bush took it big.)

If they don't lie, it might be the way the question was asked:
1. Who do you think won? or
2. After watching the debate, which politician seemed to have more experience with debates?

The reason I say that, is the numbers. Almost 70 million people turned into the VP debate. [Post here.] That's 33% more than the number of people who turned into the presidential debate.

Why were these people turning in? To see Joe Biden? Of course not. They were turning in to see Sarah Palin. That means 23 million more people turned into see the VP debate than turned into see Obama and McCain go at it.

That was almost twice as many as the 38.4 million who watched Obama's acceptance speech, the 38.9 million that watched McCain's speech and the 37 milion that watched Palin's acceptance speech.

That tells me that Joe SixPack and Hockey Mom were watching the debate. And I don't think they were disappointed (Tina Fey and Saturday Night Live notwithstanding. The video of Fey is funny. Watch it below.)

Now I think the bailout will hurt McCain more than Obama. I think McCain's only chance is to let Palin off her chain and go on attack mode.

This is our election John, let her out of the cage to say the things you should have been saying all along.
