Tucker Carlson on pulling your punches...

How does one get to the threshold of the White House without being forced to answer basic questions about his background and policy positions?

The Obama campaign has:

1. Put 95% of the media in the tank (including the "humor"/youth media of Bill Maher, SNL (and SNL) and Jon Stewart (although Stewart has been the most fair of the three));
2. Used race as a sword repeatedly when questioned on everything from policy issues to his extremist friends (how -- as John Lewis just claimed this weekend -- is running an ad about Sen. Obama befriending Bill Ayers, a terrorist and radical revolutionary equivalent to George Wallace? Remember Rep. Lewis... we're talking about John McCain here); and
3. Played on the most honorable politician of my lifetime's honor and respect for history.

Seems to have worked so far... I think it may change tomorrow night. If not, it's going to be a long 4 years for those of us who work hard and follow the rules...
