. . . how many letters I’ve received about the post “Fight Back by Donating.” These letters have said (in a nutshell), “Me too — I did just what your friend did. I gave money to the McCain campaign last night or this morning, just because of the Bristol Palin frenzy.”

If nothing else, McCain has gained himself a sack of cash by the Palin nomination — and he has had a whale of an assist by what we call here in the CM (conservative media) the MSM. (Those initials “MS” always bothered me — because “mainstream” is one word. But what can you do . . .)
