Re: Running Against the Media

From a reader:
Jonah:
<<< GMA on ABC this morning did a piece from Ohio, with a panel of "actual
voters" - one Republican, and she's "unsure". The set up was a litany
of issues, all supposed to be bad for the Republicans, including the
economy (?), and immigration (??). And Iraq of course, and the
unhappiness with how "the President and the Republicans in Congress"
have run things. I didn't realize that the Republicans in Congress were
running our Iraq efforts. Not a single mention by Jake Tapper or any
Democratic plan, policy goal or specific campaign plank - except that
they would be able to get us "out of the quagmire". Foley did get
mentioned, surprise, surprise, as did Hurricane Katrina. It was all
unhappiness and disaffection with the Republicans. Just the MSM doing
it's part to set expectations for election day, and dampen Republican
turnout. I wonder, however, if this could all backfire, and some
Democrats may stay home thinking the election is in the bag. Wishful
thinking, but a boy's gotta have dreams.
Keep up the great work. >>>
