Beware of the Coming Media Spin

[liberalpragmatist]

I hope this registers in the polls, and I think it will, but I think it'll be a more gradual upturn over the next couple of weeks as the debates continue (who knows though? Maybe there'll be a ten-point Kerry surge).

Plus, expect a Gallup poll in a few days, that will have the race at Bush 50, Kerry 45 - then the story on CNN will turn to "Why can't John Kerry break through?"

1. We have to use our Internet connections to stop this spin.

We Got Frankkk Luntz off of MSGOP and we got Blackwell to stop his crap in Ohio and we MUST stop this crap being put onto Kerry!

We can do it!

2. I was about to start thinking about how to phrase a post

that would say exactly this. Thank you, lp. You have said it.

By the end of tomorrow, the story will be very different from what we are thinking now, and we will have to keep slogging on.

But at least tonight I can think of it as ONWARD!

Hope our candidate is feeling good and gets a good night's sleep. He deserves it. And we can all join the prayer circle (each by our own lights -- even us athiests) any time we want, even without signing up.

3. I surfed the TV news shows tonight

and noticed none were announcing poll results of who the public thought won although at every web site I've looked at has Kerry winning anywhere from 57% to 80%. That is a spin of its own---non-reporting.
