on mcstain is Barr. he's polling consistently at 4-6% in colo, nm, florida, nc, etc. the segment of voters that gravitate to him is also going to have a wider impact in the mtn west and west than these polls have shown, imo...think mont, wyo, idaho, nev...not to mention the south. and they're not coming from the obama camp.

most polls and media ignore or downplay his numbers, for a variety of reasons, but the end result is that they're subsequently, misunderestimating the likely impact.

regardless the msm spin, this election is unlikely to turn out to be the horserace they're trying to hype.

we shall soon see.

Of course I'd love for that to be the case, but I can't see him getting 4% or more anywhere except Georgia.

In a media so enamored with quirky stories, I've heard surprisingly little about Barr's quixotic run. He hasn't gotten much coverage. Plus, McCain has been hammering the small government line really hard.

I guess we'll see.

this says a lot more between the lines than is apparent.

this from the latest revelation, or perhaps, realization of the realities of the political climate in the country, from politico: Nation could face short Election Night:

Network news executives said they are preparing for an unusual Election Night challenge: How to be honest with the audience, and still keep them tuned in, if the race between John McCain and Barack Obama is effectively decided before most Americans have finished dinner...

...the executives said they are contemplating how to manage their newscasts in the event of an Obama blowout...

"We can't be in the business of pretending to be stupid."...Paul Friedman, CBS News senior vice president...

damn! being stupid's paid very well the past eight years, now that they can't keep the sheeple entertained with a non-existent horse race they're starting to worry about their ratings and profits.
