Breakfast TV Talking Heads: WOW! Look at the McCain-Palin Surge! Just look at those polls--it's not even a horse race any more; it's a sprint to the finish. Obama is playing defense now, and the Democrat Party never does well on defense. Palin is pure magic! And the more liberal, coastal elites attack her for any reason, the better the McCain-Palin ticket will do. Mika, a working mom, is outraged at what Sarah has had to endure already, after just a week! Start measuring the curtains in the White House, Cindy McCain!

The Charlie Gibson interview is gonna be the HUGEST media event of all time. Not that real, normal Americans think she needs to do it; they know her intimately, and as much as they want to know her, after just a 10 minute intro and a 38 minute convention speech. Here's a sample of Palin's first one-on-one:
Gibson: Governor Palin, do like kittens or puppies more?
Palin: Well, Charlie, I love all kittens and all puppies.
Gibson: It's so GREAT that you love kittens AND puppies! Tell us all about your children's great names.

......we are now witnessing what might be called McCain's Palinization. McCain once criticized Christian conservatives as agents of intolerance, but he has caved in to their intolerance of a pro-choice running mate. McCain claims to be devoted to his country, yet he would saddle it with a vice president who is unprepared to serve as commander in chief. In the same sad way, McCain has caved in to his party's anti-tax fanatics. The man of principle has become a panderer. The straight talker flip-flops.
Obama had better do something about the "Change" message being hijacked shamelessly by McPain. Very soon, the naive, and the stupid, in this country, will believe that it was McPain's message in the first place. The Rethugs are brilliant in deceiving the morons in this country. They are unable to comprehend the fact that they have been duped by the present administration, and that the past 8 years have been a miserable failure. Despite the fact that Bush did not take care of them, but only made sure the wealthy got wealthier, they blindly believe the crap from the McPain camp.

Sadly, it has proven an easy lesson to impart. Turns out, all it requires is a limitless supply of gall and the inherent belief that people are dumber than a bag of hammers.

Clearly the NBC move wasn't based on any real broadcasting business model:
Executives at the channel’s parent company, NBC Universal, had high hopes for MSNBC’s coverage of the political conventions. Instead, the coverage frequently descended into on-air squabbles between the anchors, embarrassing some workers at NBC’s news division, and quite possibly alienating viewers. Although MSNBC nearly doubled its total audience compared with the 2004 conventions, its competitive position did not improve, as it remained in last place among the broadcast and cable news networks.
And, as Keith often says on air, the audience surge clearly involves the prime demographic which has supplanted "winning" in advertisers planning.

The reason so many people tuned in to the RNC convention is because they just wanted make sure voting for the white guy was ok. Obama never really had a chance to win this people over.
Lastly, the "...my Muslim faith" comment has just sealed the deal for McCain. Don't expect these polls to change much at all.

Listen, fella...turn off your nooze box. That "nagging feeling" is more likely directly related to viewing impure information. If the corporate media and the rest of the crumbling establishment weren’t fearful of Obama's victory they would not have taken the physical and psychological gloves off this early. Look back at the Ford senate ran last time in Tennessee...The really overt racist stuff didn't appear until two weeks before the Election Day (sort of like a Friday night news dump). Also, look at the trifling questions posed yesterday during the Sunday shows and the manner in which Democratic rebuttals to GOP spin were ignored while the few Republican counters to questions that could be somewhat construed as challenges went unrebuffed... People who have ever lived through attempts to form a union at work are familiar with this psychological form of crippling and disheartening an opponent...Though my experiences, obviously, didn't include the subliminal cues infesting corporate media like net boner pop-ups. On the subliminal point...Throughout the Republican convention my eyes were bothered by bright flashes occurring randomly, it seemed, on the telescreen behind speakers. I kept looking for a point or reason (like sparkles on letters or light reflection hits off objects) for the flashes but the wide shots always displayed some banal/generic image.

I'm surrounded by people who are conservative christians and I can tell you that the only people 'energized' by this candidate are people who were going to vote for McCain anyway. It's kind of funny watching them as each scandal surfaces and they get a little more slouched and ashen, because truly they were initially thrilled with McCain's pick of a 'holier than thou' who turned out to be just 'trashier and sluttier than thou'. Now they kind of don't talk about it much (thanks be to god). The media (and you?) can spin it however they choose but people aren't this dumb. If the republicans win this election it will be the same way they won the last two, by election fraud and vote tampering.

Really...though C-SPIN sickens more often than not. I can't forget how they were used as bait prior to Reagan/Fowler media deregulation to illustrate how free markets would pick up the once governmental reins and gallop into a new tomorrow. What has C-SPIN really done to inform or educate the public about the actual workings of the House and Senate? Sure they toured presidential birthplaces and residences and did an epic House & Garden type series on the US Capitol but bills and issues of real substance (most notably telecom deregulation) were almost completely ignored or presented, in a limited fashion, through purely political perspectives. Then, of course, there's the more often than not hate-filled, ignorant phone calls that go completely unchallenged unless some lucky, glib progressive manages a successful call-in and challenge.
ydthin

yep, C-span is biased. I used to watch regularly years ago and it always cracked me up how they managed to split the calling up in different ways. Tons of people would be incensed about something and calling in so they would split the calls between dem and repub and the repub line would be dead and the dem phone would be all lit up and Brian would be sitting there begging repubs to call in so it would be 'equal' or something, the false middle rides again...people would start calling in on the repub line just to be heard. It got comical but I'm not going to support that garbage, I haven't watched it in ages because it's just another faux objective media outlet. I don't know how big the disconnect has to get between people's actual lives and what the media is selling for people to wake the *$%# up.
I just read that Palin is in Missouri today with McCain.
I thought the reason she couldn't give interviews was because she was in Alaska.

Forget the polls and voter registrations. There's only one fact you need to know: Obama has said he will roll-back corporate tax breaks and increase taxes on the wealthy. This will directly hurt our "owners" and especially the media who now have their 2008 election narrative: the Palin-McCain has come-from-behind against-all-odds with a fast-talking hockey mom who shoots from the hip. Any attempt to question qualifications and fitness will be viewed as mean-spirited and horribly unfair. (Remember the 2000 debacle? in asking for a recount the Florida Supreme Court deprived Bush of his personal constitutional rights. Don't step on Palin's toes.) The Palin-McCain ticket will keep its margin in the national polls and strengthen its precinct margins for a victory in November. The media will declare it a landslide victory and a clear mandate for the Republican agenda.
I hope I'm wrong.

Am I the only one not buying this? I'm sorry, but it doesn't wash. If you poll on almost any single issue, the GOP policies lose by either substantial or overwhelming margins -- and they have for years. But, when they do a presidential poll is comes out close to 50-50.
Someone is purposely rigging those numbers. Go out and take a poll on any issue -- any issue -- and if you get a 50-50 split it will be a fluke. Yet, for the last eight years or so, all presidential polls have been neck and neck.
But then, if people believe it's that close, they can manufacture any result they want and people won't blink an eye.
This year should be a slam dunk for Obama. There's something seriously wrong with these numbers.
And, for the record, I don't believe that more people watched McCain than watched Obama. I can see a high viewership for Palin out of curiosity -- just as everyone slows down to look at a wreck on the highway. But I refuse to believe that nearly 40 million households were hanging on Johnny's every word.

Perhaps people who missed Palin but heard the buzz tuned in to get a peek at her and the only other living "Mavrick".
I left the world of "should be" a long time ago. Oh, sometimes "should" takes over my thinking for a momentary feeling of well-being. But "what is" always comes back to slam me. Obama is a case in point. What would happen, I wondered months ago, if we had a candidate who actually talked about our future and not about corporate America's interests here and abroad. It was nice while it lasted. Now he says the Bush tax cuts should remain in place so long as there's a recession. Heck, it would have been better to agree with the Republicans and say there's no recession just so we could roll back tax breaks for those who don't deserve them. And all that God talk, I'm sick of it. It's going to be a long 60 days.
