Yeah, no kidding. What would be the point? If presidential candidates have survived last second affair claims (Clinton), DUIs (W) and a litany of terrible statements, I can't see what possible story on Palin that would negatively impact McCain's chances in two months. The only possible story with legs is the trooper one, but now it seems that trooper (brother-in-law) made death threats against her family and was disciplined for it. So, even that seems to have lost some bite.
I'll be shocked if any of these stories on Palin are still relevant in a month. After the republican convention, it becomes Obama vs McCain with a small sliver for the VPs (debate). I still don't think McCain will win, but if he loses it's not because of Palin (or, in better terms, the outcome would not have been different if he named Huckabee, Libermann or Romney).
Not to sound like a broken record, but I feel this election is a referendum on if people feel comfortable with Obama as president. The democrats lead on nearly every issue as party (outside of maybe the war on terror) and if enough people trust/approve Obama, he will win. All McCain/Palin can do now is continue to put doubts in people's minds on Obama's ability to be Commander in Chief. Anything outside of that is just fodder for the political junkies.
