What would the press do with this story had it been Joe Biden?

Begala: Time for the media to call McCain/Palin on their lies
From CNN September 9, 2008:
PAUL BEGALA, CNN POLITICAL CONTRIBUTOR: Because the press won't do its job, John. I criticized Barack Obama when he hasn't been tough enough. Barack's job is to run against John McCain, right. Don't shoot the monkey when you can shoot for the organ grinder. His job is not to focus on number two but number one. But it is the media's job when a politician flat out lies like she's doing on this bridge to nowhere so call her on it. Or this matter of earmarks where she's attacking Barack Obama for having earmarks, when she was the mayor of little Wasilla, Alaska, 6,000 people, she hired a lobbyist who was connected to Jack Abramoff, who is a criminal and they brought home $27 million in earmarks. She carried so much pork home she got trichinosis. But we in the media are letting her tell lies about her record.

Obama Hits McCain And Palin On Change
On the trail today in Flint, Michigan, Obama payed into on both McCain and Palin when he spoke about McCain campaign's promises of reform ring hollow.
"You can't just make stuff up," Obama says, perhaps optimistically. "The American people aren't stupid."
Todays Polls
ABC/WaPo: Obama 47%, McCain 46%.
CBS: McCain 46%, Obama 44%.
CNN: McCain 48%, Obama 48%.
When it comes to polls, I have to agree with Michael Moore when he told Larry King on Friday and I am paraphrasing that he doesn't believe the polls. He says race is not as close as the polls suggest.
Main stream media needs the race to be close. It gives the something to talk about every day.
