Phil Graham resigns, the Media yawns.
Page 12 in the NY Times and most of the article is McCain quotes attacking Obama.
So the story of the chief Economic adviser to John McCain resigning isn't big news.
It's important to never challenge the Maverick/Straight Shooter image.

1. I was under the impression he had already resigned from the campaign.
John McCain had said that Phil Gramm does not speak for me - I speak for me. And then a McCain spokesman had said that Gramm was no longer a part of campaign. Then yesterday, he resigns as co-chair? Were they not going to tell us he was still with the campaign??

2. 1/50th the coverage of the "bitter" comment-the press continues to be the tool of GOP
Krugman's latest statements have been right on the mark on this issue

3. Resigned on a Friday,
When every news anchor is gone to Europe and the ME with Obama. Cowardly, as usual.

4. means nothing - McCrash et al are Mammon's Clones. Graham's resignation isnothing but
window dressing for medial shills to point to and say to audiences of slaves, "See, John McCain is one of you."
