I'd like to suggest deluging the networks about the Reps' VP debate demands

[gateley]

so they cover it and it becomes a big, embarrassing story for the Republicans. Let them know that this is causing a lot of anger in the blogosphere.

1. I was going to say this

But you did finally change the thread title... :P

Expect that Keith and Rachael will be on it Monday!

3. Ha! And I'm forever hollering at people for posting cryptic little threads with

no explanation. I was spanking myself when I saw what I'd done - didn't do. :7

2. It will get plenty of press

But that won't change anything.

They want desperately to make Joe look like a bully - this ploy is to call attention to the fact that she is a defenseless little lady, set him up to be the bad guy.

I expect he'll do as he did in the Couric interview. Just ignore her very existence, focus on McCain's weaknesses, Barack and Joe's strengths. Leave her standing there saying "hello? is this thing turned on?"

Oh, he'll be forced to counter some inanities, I am sure, but he'll just dispose of them quickly and dismissively, then get on to substance.

4. Ah, but the Biden people already said (in NYT article) that he was fine with

whatever format was decided on. So HE won't look like a bully - maybe the media will but that's tough.
