Palin Frame Change: It's McCain, Smarties!
An edited version of a comment I posted under Greg's excellent summary of the Palin selection story to date:
The frame of this story needs to shift to being about McCain's judgment and therefore his readiness to lead. Gov. Palin is not the problem, but rather McCain's cynical, impulsive, manipulative, and irresponsible decision to nominate her for an office she is not in a position to hold responsibly.
The press will need to be pushed to this necessary frame; right now a great deal of resistance stands in the way, by way of their swallowing the Republican's claim to be holding a non-political party convention, with the consequence of Democrats' response being stifled.
Consequently, it is imperative that this shift of framing be initiated here in the blogosphere, where the one-sided putative time-out on politics is not in effect.

Drat! Defeated by the confusing behavior of the TPM blogging/commenting infrastructure.
The post did not appear for more than 'several minutes' after I first submitted.
