Numerous reports that John McCain has chosen Sarah Palin, Alaska Governor, to be his Vice Presidential pick. “Blogging by Blackberry”
[...]While I give it a pass because sometimes it has interesting people and guests on, the host of that show, John Dankosky, can be completely clueless. He’s normally too eager to stick to he said/she said style debates, and sticks stubbornly to talking points he preps with even if guests [...]
