This looks like a pretty good line up for two days before the election. I only wish that Sarah had been set on one of these shows. I just watched her (and her family) do a GREAT interview with Greta on Fox. I'm really looking forward to a McCain/Palin administration come January 20.

It was a awesome interview IMO, that setting just fit Gov Palin to a “T”.

As of the lineup, Rove has been swamped with the polling data, there is so many polls that he has sort of lost his touch, normally he can look at internals and pick out Demographics.

Not now..:(

Here’s the CNN Øbama interview from Friday with Blitzer, Late edition will probably play it in 2 parts;

http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/politics/2008/10/31/tsr.obama.interview.cnn

Economy tops Obama’s list of ‘09 priorities

In an interview with Wolf Blitzer in Des Moines, Iowa, Obama was asked to name his top priority from a list of issues

From your mouth to God's ear!!!!

Thanks again for the heads up. No need for me to rush home from Mass since the only one I'm interested in hearing is Fred Thompson, and MTP doesn't come on till 10:30 here.

Fred has really been giving great campaign speeches since he appeared at the convention.

I'm sure everyone else will be spewing the same old talking points.

NBC Meet The Press (Tom Brokaw)

Side note: NPR has an interesting interview with author Toni Morrisson about her new book, A Mercy, which her a view of slavery that Michelle Norris will not cover during the roundtable - Letters: Toni Morrison

I'm looking forward to Fred pummeling Lurch on MTP. The linked video of Fred is fantastic. I'll pass on the Obama insane clown posse roundtable. Talk about a self referential mono-culture.  If an opposing idea were to randomly pop up it would be like a multi gigaton anti-matter explosion!

CBS Face The Nation (Bob Schieffer)

Axelrod is the new, good, Karl Rove, according to the MSM. Lindsey Graham is to be viewed as a clownish figure, and they won't get much argument from many of us here. Ensign is resembling Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh, or some other such pathologically depressed Sad Sack. Ironically our one hope for FTN this week may be an over confident Chuck the Schmuck straying off message. He is an incredibly arrogant person so there is hope. That may be why he's doing a 30 minute CBS show instead of one of the others. Less chance to screw up, plus a very Dim friendly host to correct any blunders quickly.

Fox News Sunday (Chris Wallace)

It's now all about managing expectations and either encouraging or depressing each sides partisans. The Democrats and the MSM (there's a difference?) are strongly pushing the theme that this time they have the ground game and the pubbies should just give up and stay home. Chris Wallace was on Fox ad Friends this morning and that's all he wanted to talk about. The only contest now, it seems, is whether Axelrod or Plouffe is the "new Karl Rove, super genius." Lets hope that works out about as well as it did for that Wiley Coyote fella.

If John McCain pulls this out I feel very sorry for this bunch at CNN. They are truly invested in the Obammessiah's win.

Yup, they tried that on Matt Blunt earlier today. He basically said bull cr*p.

I have never seen the media stay so "on message" before. I know they aren't very creative, but this goes beyond laziness.

And no, there is no difference between the Dems and the MSM. None.

ABC This Week (George Stephanopoulos)

ABC is already into the post mortem analysis of the masterful victory of The One. And the chattering classes on both sides of the isle are looking forward to banishing the rubes back to the hinterlands. so they can get on with the business of running the world via attending the right cocktail parties.

The drive by media is both right and wrong about this. I've been checking and I don't see the same party / campaign ground game as was mounted for Bush in 2000 and '04. However, I am seeing a LOT of independent GOTV work being done by ad-hoc and independent groups. One example is a major second amendment organization getting their grass roots organizers to man phone banks and set up door to door.

There's also some big independent ad buys being done. The one that's getting all the press is The Conservative National Republican Trust PAC. They've got a 6 million dollar ad buy with the major networks between now and Tuesday to run this ad on the Obama / Wright relationship.

As Rush has been saying we're going to drag McCain across the finish line on Tuesday. Then the real work of reforming the party and the nation starts.

As is so often the case, I completely agree with Rush. There is lots of grass roots work going on here to do that dragging, and then we have got to get the party back on track, in spite of or without McCain.

This from Jerry Pournelle's day book:

Despair is a sin, and often a mistake. The polls do not record the "refused to respond" which in my judgment is a much larger category than any admit -- it includes me, five times so far this year since I'm home to answer the phone more than many people are -- and I suspect that more McCain people refuse to respond than the trendier Obama enthusiasts.

Few Republicans are enthusiastic. I wish there were a safe recipient for the Turn The Rascals Out! vote. There isn't. Electing a junior senator whose political positions are indistinguishable from McGovern except on the checkoff unionization which even McGovern opposes cannot be a good thing for the future of the nation. If the Democratic candidate were Colin Powell, who has fairly traditional liberal views but is primarily a centrist with some military (including political military, but who has led troops in combat) experience, I'd very likely vote for him on the grounds that he would be a good restraining influence on Rangel, Franks, Dodd, Pelosi, and the weak Reid. Alas, Obama isn't likely to stand up to much of anything; his political experience has been Chicago machine go along to get along.

But the election is not over. There are more decline to answer voters than it takes to change the election.

One vote per precinct in California delivered the nation to Woodrow Wilson.

The way to win elections is to get those who intend to vote for your candidate to go vote. Few readers here are not capable of getting two or three voters to the polls. That's well over a million votes. Think on it.

 I'm with Dr Pournelle on this one.

I’m with Dr. Pournelle as well.

Here is an interesting thing from ages past :)

“With Undecideds Allocated, Bush Leads Kerry By Two In Final TIPP Poll.
The final TIPP tracking poll of 1041 likely voters, conducted over October 31-November 1 shows 48.6% of likely voters would vote for George W. Bush; 45.3% would vote for John Kerry; .9% would vote for Ralph Nader; 4.4% were undecided. With undecided voters allocated to the candidates, 50.1% would vote for George W. Bush; 48% would vote for John Kerry; 1.1% would vote for Ralph Nader; .8% would vote for another candidate.”

They don’t say how they allocated the undecideds.
