With Facts & Polls Against Them, MSM Calls In The Pundits To Defend *
* has fallen back in the polls again, the Dems are revved up due to the Clinton speech, Iraq is imploding on an
ever-widening scale and a few media personalities are making it very clear that bush's incompetence is a BIG
issue in this campaign.

The MSM solution: when the facts are against you, call in the pundits to spin things in bush's favor!

I've seen too many incidents in the past two days to recount them all, but two stand out: Ed Rollins on
Lou Dobbs as part of his usual 2 Rs v 1 Dem "panel of experts" near the end of his show. Yesterday, Rollins
opined that "I think the Ds had a great chance to win this election, but they blew it." Strange - I remember Rollins
opining that the Rs were in trouble, but not that the Ds were going to take anything. The reason they "blew it?"
Because they had made Iraq the issue and this election was going to be decided by local issues - and the Rs are
perfectly positioned for that. WTF?

The second incident was more glaring: Tweety's show today. Today's show was heavily tilted toward RW guests. Tweets
started with a segment on the big trouble George Allen was in, but by his 4th segment, he had a 2 on 1 RW/D panel
that was discussing how Allen could turn it around and how Webb was a one-issue candidate who would get creamed
once Allen started talking about local issues.

Message to Ds: don't listen to the fuckin pundits!

It is the 9/29 how could we have blown the election?

2. Just wait for all the polls to start narrowing in the next few weeks.
By a couple weeks or less before the election, several polls will have R's closing the gap for no apparent reason. They will steal this election too. Personally, I think they would do it even if a R candidate was double digits behind the Democrat. They REFUSE to give up power. Way too much at stake. You can not stop this Christian/Fascist juggernaut. Not until they change the way we vote and how we count those votes. I know, broken record. Hopefully, after November 7th I will never have to say that again. I really don't believe that will happen. eh
