anyone who thinks DailyKos or HuffPo are not “media” agents of Mr. Obama simply have not been paying attention.
Mr. Obama has blogged at both of those sites previously, but has yet to make an ‘off-limits’ type of post at either site. Given that the tone of posts at DailyKos has been the more gutter oriented (and silently deleting things afterwards), a blog entry there would probably be a most interesting spectacle.

Exactly RHamric. That is how they play the game – leave the candidate with clean hands.
I guess I will continue to be astounded at Sarah’s ability to juggle so many responsibilities while maintaining a political life. Her husband must be a really good man.
My wife and I had 3 kids in 4 years, and we both had professional jobs. It required sharing on a large scale.

Ah Christina, if only that was how the game is played. Unfortunately Mr. Obama has taken the typical political dodge all the while permitting his surrogates in the blogasphere to continue the muck raking. I know he has no direct control over anyone but those who are working on his campaign, but anyone who thinks DailyKos or HuffPo are not “media” agents of Mr. Obama simply have not been paying attention.

To his credit, Barack Obama declared the subject off-limits and promised to fire any member of his campaign who made an issue of it.
Wow! I’ll give credit where credit is due. Good job, Sen. Obama.
