Now They Target Ben Smith

Yes, there's an actual possibility that the McCain campaign will simply shut down press access altogether. But how could we tell? 25 days and no Palin press conference. Are women candidates regarded as too fragile for a robust press corps? Too frail to accept normal debate rules? The sexism that animates Schmidt and McCain is pretty staggering, isn't it? For the twenty-first century?
