I've noticed a distinct change in tone today

[CatWoman]

in the CNN anchors.

They are not so "gung-ho Arnold's got it in the bag".

They aren't even quoting polls anymore.

Candy Crowley looked like she was going to cry.

Or am I imagining things?

1. You are overanalyzing perhaps

but I don't know because I didn't watch CNN.

[CatWoman]

3. well

DUH!!!

[KittyWampus]

2. Are The Media Whores Emotionally Invested

in seeing Junior, Arnold and the rest of the gang succeed?

I wonder....

[xray s]

4. Not emotionally invested...

They are financially invested!

5. I think you are right

I had heard early on that there were many skeletons in Arnie's closets. This stuff has to be having some impact. It certainly could impact voter turnout.

All the polls showing Arnie in the lead are based on "likely voter" models.

"Likely voter" model polls had Bush winning Fla by as much as 7% in 2000.

6. As a whole, they are "Fence Sitters". Now that the Bad News hits the fan

and the Pubs appear like the shit they are, they seem to be moving to the middle where they supposed to be.

They had moved to the Right in the past 2 or 3 years and now see the real PUBs for what they are, a tribe of greedy/selfish assholes.

7. It undermined his momentum to focus on his first 100 days bullshit

Even on the campaign trails reporters aren't letting him stick to his game and his handlers are saying he won't answer to each individual charge..

The funny thing is that people are saying'Why didn't these women come forth sooner?" The same could be said of arnold. Reports have benn published about his womanizing for years. Why hasn't he, like Carol Burnett did, sued anyone for libel if they were false? Simple answer...in matters of slander and libel..THE TRUTH IS ALWAYS A DEFENSE.

In fact, I would LOVE a reporter to ask him, "Arnold, are you going to sue for libel?" I would LOVE to see him respond.

8. You know whose tones are really DIFFERENT?

Smirk and Ah-nald. They both sounded like someone whipped their a$$es.

[realFedUp]

9. I'd be crying also if I'm stuck on a bus following Arnold

aptly named "predator" following Arnold's HummerBus going to places like Riverside, San Bernadino, Irvine etc.

I'd be screaming to get off the bus.
It's just desserts though for some of this media crowd.

Arnold's probably chuckling all the way to San Diego
about it.

10. I agree

with that and they (CNN) have been have been hammering the groping and Hitler thing today. They just showed a press conference with one of the women he groped in a Gold's Gym. She put a face to the groping issue...Ahhhhnold isn't looking so great today. I haven't seen an Ahhhhnold poll at all today. This is encouraging.

11. Looks like the Dem news coverage now. Anything goes.

Finally Bush is getting the same as Clinton did. They do not like it.

[Neecy]

12. huh

Let that Repuke butt-kisser Crowley get groped by that hulking piece of crap and just *watch* her cry.

I still remember her stricken, pasty-pale face quivering when CNN first called Florida for Gore. You'd think she'd just gotten a spear through the heart.
