1. That's the plan and it appears as if the DNC/DLC is in on the plan |

Then CNN can complete their changeover to "The Flyboy Channel" and Fox can just put T.H.K. on a video loop and run it continuously in the lower corner of the crawl for the next three straight months.

4. Cable News thinks it's a lot more important than it is |
|
That's no accident, of course -- it's for the advertising revenue.
But in Real Life™, far, far fewer people get their news from cable news channels than from network broadcast news. CBS tonight hasn't 'gone negative' on the Democratic convention -- if anything, the coverage has been fairly complimentary so far.

5. It'll be hard to get a big bounce - Kerry's numbers are high already! |

Listening to the Al Franken show this afternoon, he cited the stats to show this.

6. Why don't we wait until the major speeches actually start? |
|
It's a bit early to throw in the towel.

7. There will be a big bounce. The attention causes it. |

8. They are certainly TRYING.. |
|
We'll probably see somehting like this:
"...and the democrats, try as they might, could not seem to put forth anything new...Kerry's speech failed to register with the public...his wife, the foul-mouthed AFRICAN did not seem very first-lady-like...the THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS of protestors were LOCKED IN CAGES by the DEMOCRATS, and meanwhile, our popular, young president was hard at work, even though he suffered a serious injury while biking in the wilderness...he was looking for the rattlesnake that had threatened a young farm boy nearby..Our WAR/PEACE preisdent has been hard at work KEEPING AMERICA SAFE, while the democrats wear funny hats and keep the "heartlandesque decent god-fearing Bostonians from earning a living..."
or something like that :(
