A recent survey reveals that 51% of the electorate believes that news coverage of Sarah Palin is driven by journalists that want to “hurt” her. The blogshpere has taken it a step further with conspiracy theories about Palin’s youngest child being the offspring of her eldest daughter. It’s so bad that Obama has had to distance himself from the banter.
The more troubling aspect of the coverage for Obama is that many pundits and journalists have been comparing his experience to Palin’s, despite his being the top of his ticket. This Obama vs. Palin issue is poisonous for Obama, who has yet to really attack the newly minted Republican ticket.
