The Note: Pending: Six Days of November Surprises (Dems/MSM closing strategy)
ABC News The Note ^ | 10/26/06 | MARK HALPERIN, DAVID CHALIAN, TEDDY DAVIS, TAHMAN BRADLEY, and EMILY O'DONNELL with KARUNA SESHASAI,

Posted on 10/24/2006 5:17:32 AM PDT by teddyballgame

How the (liberal) Old Media plans to cover the last two weeks of the election:

1. Glowingly profile Speaker-Inevitable Nancy Pelosi, with loving mentions of her grandmotherly steel (see last night's 60 Minutes), and fail to describe her as "ultra liberal" or "an extreme liberal," which would mirror the way Gingrich was painted twelve years ago.

2. Look at every attempt by the President to define the race on his terms as deluded and desperate; increasingly quote Republican strategists saying that the President is hurting the party whenever he enters the fray.

3. Refuse to join the daily morning Ken Mehlman-Rush Limbaugh conference calls, despite repeated invitations. LINK

4. Imbue every Democratic candidate for whom Bill Clinton campaigns with a golden halo.

5. Paint groups that run ads or do turnout for Republican candidates as shadowy, extreme, corrupt, and illegitimate; describe their analogues on the left as valiant underdogs, part of a People's Army (with homage to Rich Lowry).

6. Care more about voter disenfranchisement than voter fraud.

LOL! Awesome list. I hope Rush reads it, since they're chiding him for not getting their joke before.

Of course. But they're just preaching to the choir. The rest of us are onto them.

Rush will now use his radio show to expose this ABC plot.

Are we forgetting that Rove has his own suprises in store?

Maybe Rove has a tape of Pelosi marching in a San Fran Gay pride parade arm and arm with the founder of NAMBAL.

I am expecting something very serious to occur in the area of the classified NIE leaks to the press.

I personally expect to see elected democrats charged with crimes.

That would be so sweet, because we know that democrats sell out their country for their own party/ideology/power.

LOL Teddy, in the Northern cities maybe. It would not help Marshall and Barrow in Georgia.

Oh so this is supposed to be deliberately funny? They might as well admit it really is their plan!

AL, a indictment for Jane Harman's traitor would be nice, along with Sandy Berger and Richard Armitage.

Someone needs to get ALberto Gonzalez to indict Rod Blago in Illinois also.

Are you kidding? That would just energize the Dem base to vote in greater numbers! Now a picture of Pelosi hugging Bush would be a different matter entirely.

I heard yesterday that the Dems are nervous about seeing Pelosi's mug on the television day after day as a reminder of the far-leftwing of the party.

If they plan to showcase the old hag for the last two weeks, it will be a GOOD thing, IMO.

Don't know why nobody is pointing out that this "kindly grandmother" is on the executive committee of the Progressive Caucus which really is part of the DSA - dsausa.org - the Democratic Socialists of America bunch of commies.

If the Republicans really feel like they're going down then go down fighting. Get on the networks and call them the bias liberal idiots they are to their face.
