>If you can get the media to report actual facts, it is possible to win over them. It happened here for our representative. Arlene Wohlgemuth ran a dirty campaign against Chet Edwards. Not only did she try to paint Chet as a liberal, she totally distorted his record. The touch I liked is that she promised she would be Bush's representative in the House. Excuse me, I am supposed to vote for you so you can represent someone else? All of her signs pushed a connection with Bush. But she lost. A big factor was that the local media took her to task on her claims. I just don't have faith that we can accomplish that on a consistent basis throughout the red states. But, regardless, this is a rather hypothetical thread and we're not trying to win back the country here. -Z
