31 days to go.... so anyway, apparently I was watching a different debate last night, 'cause all the Liberal Main Stream Media (redundancy alert) are saying that Senator Biden won. I'll have an order of "Oh, Really? with a side of "WTF?" They're shaping the narrative, people. Kill your television. Go "New Media". We have come to the point in the media's treatment of Gov. Sarah Palin where even the fig leaf of pretense is gone. The press has openly chosen sides and has stopped apologizing for it. Old, but related: On August 28, when the junior Senator from Illinois accepts his party's nomination to be the next President of the United States, Barack Obama may wish to spend a few moments thanking network news reporters for making the whole night possible. Since the launch of Obama's national political career at the Democratic convention four years ago, the Big Three broadcast networks have showered Obama with positive — even glowing — news coverage, protected the candidate from the attacks of his rivals, and shown little interest in investigating Obama's past associations or exploring the controversies that could have threatened his campaign. Read the whole thing. It's staggering. Following up on yesterday's info on the FEC looking into Senator Obama's campaign finances, Newsmax has a "must read" article posted: More than half of the whopping $426.9 million Barack Obama has raised has come from small donors whose names the Obama campaign won't disclose. Gabe, over at Ace of Spades HQ has a good "debate at a glance" chart up. Ace also has a picture of the last thing Joe Biden saw before he lost consciousness laying on the canvas. Stephen "VodkaPundit" Green's opinion on the debate: Here's my mini-wrap. If you were looking for a veep who wants, needs, to be President, then Joe Biden is your man. But Sarah Palin was the one who really manned up tonight, for unfailingly selling America on her candidate rather than on herself. Reader "Corporate Boy" puts us some knowledge with the link to the bail out bill. My advice to you, Flounder, is to start drinking heavily. Unrelated, but a good line: This election makes me feel like I took the crazy bus to Crazytown. Speaking of crazy, it looks like John "Maverick" McCain has dipped in to his stash of weapons-grade stupid and has conceded Michigan to the Forces of Evil. Republican presidential candidate John McCain conceded battleground Michigan to Democrat Barack Obama on Thursday, a major retreat as he struggles to regain his footing in a campaign increasingly dominated by economic issues. I hope Senator McCain has a really, really good "October Surprise" in his back pocket. Otherwise, come 05NOV08, all my disposable income is going towards canned goods and ammunition and bottled water and ammunition. The "if you want bullets, you'll just have to wait" girl at the Belleville Walmart danm well better have the key to the ammo locker when she sees me standing at the sporting goods counter. Just sayin', that's all. more soon
