There is a huge difference between being tired of a 2 year campaign and not supporting your candidate.

President's numbers are up in every early voting venue.

Brokaw talked on about the power of the great insurgent Tea Party.

Does he realize that the Tea Party has given the Democrats more seats in the Senate.

does he and the other media dinosaurs realize that the internet makes their opinions irrelevant?

when i grew up in the 50`s and well into the 70`s there were 3 networks and in my little city one newspaper. if i wanted a paper outside of my area i had to drive 50-100 miles to buy one.
today i can access any newspaper in the world,access to worldwide interactive social media,and satellite television.

we have the ability to make our own informed opinion on what we feel is relevant

He's doing more intimate rallies in smaller towns -- and covering the swing states almost person to person. I'll bet the crowds at the second inauguration are massive.

In Nashua Nh, and Concord, the area is small. I was surprised they fit so many into the area in Nashua. Also they have a lot of ticket rallies.
