Great job again Phsstpok! Hope you are feeling well.
One other voice besides Warner that has come out for the port deal is John McCain
Fran Townsend is on FNC, with the release of the new Katrina report ('Lessons Learned'), I think they'll discuss what went wrong. I suspect that Chris will ask a few tough questions, but don't expect as much Bush-bashing as if she were on Timmy's show. Since she's from HS, I suspect she'll also discuss the port deal.
MTP: Arnold may discuss how the Chinese are running ports in CA, but depends if he gets off the 'how great I am' kick. May also touch on border security/immigration
CNN: Kay BH - saw her briefly on FNC yesterday. She didn't exactly come out against the port deal (though, IIRC she mentioned she wanted to hear/learn more about it). She was more concerned w overall port security, so I suspect that will be discussed.
Iraq: most of the hosts will be screeching about how bad things are and how Iraq is on the brink of a civil war. While there is certainly unrest there, I think the MSM is mis-characterizing it and somewhat disengenuous about a civil war.
WSJ: I would hope there would be discussion of how GOOD the economy really is, even though the word isn't getting out very well.
I agree w Peach about discussion of the Rasmussen poll and how for the 1st time folks 'trust' Dims w Nat'l Security more. Wonder if they'll bring out the other parts of the poll, such as a majority of the respondents weren't sure if foreign countries were currently running ops at our ports or thought US companies now were and that a lot of them weren't really following the issue. The fact that Dims are even showing this high is a little disturbing (though, I think that will change when more of the truth comes out). Many of us saw through them and discussed this last week and that their outcry over this issue was just to take the Nat'l Security issue out of favoring Bush.

Curious what their numbers are today on this topic? You saw the shift in coverage start on Thursday when the Failed Media FINALLY quit lying about "Arabs are going to take over our ports" and actually started to make some factually correct statements about the deal. As the information comes out, those numbers are changing. Look at the change in the polling data here on Freeper. The initial Jim Rob Poll was 50-30-20 against the deal, now it is 50-30-20 FOR the deal.
