Running Against the Media Cont'd Jonah Goldberg The Corner From a reader: <<< Jonah, I really liked your suggested RNC ad. . .well, maybe I don't necessarily like it, but I agree that it would be brilliant politics and would play massively well in the areas of America I've lived in (South and Midwest). I used to work on the Hill, have loved politics my whole life, but have been thoroughly disgusted with Republicans over the past half-year and my stomach turns at the idea of giving them more power. But then I made the mistake of watching CNN a couple days ago, when Anderson Cooper (elite liberal) interviewed two conservatives for comments on the upcoming election. Who were the "conservatives," you ask? David Gergen and Andrew Sullivan. Good god. Right then and there I resolved to be at the voting booth come hell or high water. Conservatives may dislike the Republicans in power now, but there is a special vein of loathing reserved for the MSM, especially now that they've started to openly celebrate. >>> corner.nationalreview.com

Re: Running Against the Media Jonah Goldberg The Corner 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. >>> corner.nationalreview.com
