The 'flawed candidate' meme

The mainstream media wants you all to believe all the potential Republican candidates are too flawed to defeat President Obama. As if President Obama is not too flawed to win!This is pretty much what all Republican candidates will have to deal with and none more so than Sarah Palin. She is most feared by the left and thus the most demonized by the left and the media left.
Whether flaws are overlooked or accentuated greatly depends on the party from which the candidate hails. What the 2008 election proved — through the elevation of a man to the highest office in the land with the thinnest resume and least executive experience ever — is that anyone can get elected president, if the press chooses to overlook that candidate’s flaws.
Republican candidates will be judged in the media by vastly different standards than Barack Obama. Once one of them has at last secured the nomination, he or she will be pummeled while Obama will get a pass for his policies and how he comports himself as president....
...
It does not mean she can't win. It does mean that she will have to overcome more than Obama who has not been a very good President.
His record is that of someone who passed several massive spending bills the voters did not want and tried to impose control freak regulations on the health care and financial services industries while allowing labor unions off the hook on the minimal regulations they already had.
Why would America want to reelect someone with that record?
