Lest we forget, it was announced at CPAC last week and reported that the '06 Republican Strategy included bypassing mainstream media to get the Republican message out.

The shooting certainly wasn't part of any "GOP message" , but to jump to the demands of old media would have been completely contrary to that idea. And the VP would be more than happy to comply with that part of the plan.

Do you know of a thread or article about this? It's the sort of information I'd like to file away for later. :)

If the Republicans can pull it off. It will be huge.

On Inside Washington, a weekend discussion show taped at and run by the Gannett-owned CBS affiliate in Washington, DC, WUSA-TV, and carried by many PBS stations across the country, Evan Thomas [Editor Newsweek] pointed out the boost to the Kerry/Edwards ticket provided by the press corps:

“There’s one other base here: the media. Let’s talk a little media bias here. The media, I think, wants Kerry to win. And I think they’re going to portray Kerry and Edwards -- I’m talking about the establishment media, not Fox, but -- they’re going to portray Kerry and Edwards as being young and dynamic and optimistic and all, there’s going to be this glow about them that some, is going to be worth, collectively, the two of them, that’s going to be worth maybe 15 points.”

The week’s Newsweek, dated July 19, certainly backs up Thomas’ contention. Over a smiling picture on the cover of Kerry and Edwards, Newsweek ever hopefully asks: “The Sunshine Boys?” To see the cover: www.msnbc.msn.com
