can anyone remember in our nation's history, other than this time around, when a vice presidential nominee was attacked more than the presidential nominee?

i guess you missed the news back then when he (bill clinton) fired ALL 93 U.S. attorneys for no good reason?....which made it quite comical when bush was under fire for firing 8...

Nixon.He was being hounded with allegations of kickbacks and abuse of power. He had to go on national television and say "I am not a crook" to remain on Eisenhowers ticket in the 1950s... Then in the 1970s we found out he was one after all.

Yeah... Why would Kenneth Starr hound him so much because he allowed an intern to suck his appendage? Oh yes, they had NOTHING else on him.

That was the tip of the iceburg for his public speaking snafus.  He was a major embarrassment; not a bad guy, but horrible at speaking.

No I do not recall something quite like this. When the Vice Presidential candidate is attacked by the media more than the presidential candidate him or herself.But alas, I don't remember a vice presidential candidate that was as crazy and extreme as Palin.Al Gore took his share of blows though, as did the first Bush administrations' VP. I forgot him name, Dan something.

Right, it was his misspelling of the word "potato", was it?  Reason enough.

They were interested, it is just that they thought the black guy was better.

I used to be the Executive Officer of Transparency International in Fiji, and I'd be interested to read why you call her corrupt. Apart from that, I am actually eager to see a woman take office in the US Presidential Office and since the Democrats are not interested, the Republican has shown interest and I hope it will come to pass.
