RE:"The press wants to engineer a close election. I can already see NBC breaking out that stupid whiteboard, as if they're discussing football plays or computer architecture. Give me a break." I don't doubt it, the networks were worried about an early election night and loss of viewers and revenues.

With the attacks on Joe the Plumber, coupled with Biden's big mouth, the bump that Obama might have received from Powell is gone. The press wants to engineer a close election. I can already see NBC breaking out that stupid whiteboard, as if they're discussing football plays or computer architecture. Give me a break. And you are forced to watch this crap hour after hour. Oh wait......not if you have cable.

>With the attacks on Joe the Plumber, coupled with Biden's big mouth, the bump that Obama might have received from Powell is gone. Newsflash... no one cares about Joe the Plumber. 6% of Americans polled say he makes them more likely to vote for McCain, and 4% say he makes them more likely to vote for Obama. No idea what you're talking about vis-a-vis Biden. I don't think Obama got much from Powell, and wouldn't expect him to this close to the election. -Z
