What you are forgetting here is the the "Media" still has the same pull on the "Unwashed Masses" that it always had, only now they can really rig the elections. I.E. CBS/ABC/NBC= most watched networks by the "common" voter

Yep they did a great job in protecting Grey Davis didn't they.

Just because the media do not always get what they want doesn't mean they aren't influential and don't help shape the perceptions of millions of people.

Grey Davis was HATED by a majority of CA voters...your attempt to say that the media cannot or will not effect election results does not hold water.

LOL, you can't be serious? Care to tell me what 60 day (no political ads) limit was in effect during davis's recall? Bush should be held accountable for this, he did not have to sign this garbage.I am getting pretty sick and tired of the folks who think Bush can do no wrong or the "we have to take some bad with the good" garbage.

People would do well to remember the Louisiana election cycle, lots of folks will not be voting in the Presidental election this cycle. Ahh well methinks revolution is just around the corner in this country.
