Slippery CW

Mark Halperin parrots already-old and disproven conventional wisdom with this odd snippet:

Axelrod: “The Battle is Now Joined”
Wednesday, September 17th, 2008
Obama’s top strategist acknowledges “more urgency” behind the Democrat’s campaign, as insiders worry about McCain’s surge of popularity since tapping Palin.*

Just as McCain is now universally known as a guiltless liar, as Palin's unfavorables are steadily rising and as Obama has utterly deflated the McCain "bounce"... it is extremely important the press reminds us about those insiders and their worrying.

And can Halperin please halt all use of the word "tapping" in regards to Palin and Clinton? Really not necessary.
