Palin funny; Mitt not
The media finally is wrestling with the Big Question of the presidential campaign: Would Mitt Romney have inspired comedy to the breathtaking level that Sarah Palin has?Lorne Michaels, executive producer of Saturday Night Live told the New York Times:
I think the gods smiled on us with the Palin thing. Like if he [McCain, not God] had chosen Romney, I think it would be completely different. As exciting as a Romney-Biden debate would have been, it just would have been politics as usual.SNL's Tina Fey's dead-on impersonation of the Alaska governor — many people think Palin is impersonating Fey, badly — has kicked up the show's ratings 50 percent, not to mention the viral spread of the bits on the Internet.

Tribune's Bob Barr Blackout Watch: The Libertarian Party nominated Bob Barr as its presidential candidate 138 days ago, but the Salt Lake Tribune has yet to inform its print edition readers of his candidacy.
The Tribune's administrators are disabling the accounts of individuals who note this fact in the TribTalk forums or comments sections of SLTRIB.COM.
Barr will be on at least 45 state ballots across the United States.
Nationwide polls show Barr receiving support from between 1 to 2 percent of voters (or about 1 in 50 American voters), and up to 11 percent support in some battleground states.
Only a handful of other presidential candidates can claim the same thing.
The CEO of MediaNews (which owns the Tribune), William Dean Singleton, was a significant financial supporter of Republican U.S. President George W. Bush.
