Passing over the silliness of "incompetent conduct of a needless war" (which I can because the Dems have yet to propose a better alternative) and the fact that the evidence of congressional corruption that is mounting seems stacked disproportionately toward the Democrat side of the aisle, we are left with the real message - if this much work by the media over this long can't boost the Dems back into majority then nothing will.
It's an entirely mistaken conclusion. What will be shattered by a loss or even a mixed victory is the strident left wing of the party that makes for such great press and lousy politics. What will be strengthened is the conventional party machinery and those who control it. This is not accidental, it is absolutely by design, and the beneficiary is the Presidential candidate waiting in the wings. The wingnuts are screaming now but they'll be voting for her as their only alternative if this election isn't the crushing breakthrough everyone in the MSM seems to be predicting. The problem with overblown predictions is that when they don't come true even a minor victory is profoundly unsatisfying.
And the media absolutely will climb aboard. Sensation sells copy but nothing seduces like power. The Democratic party isn't really in much danger here. The country may be.
Your argument has great merit. Think of the smile on George Soros's face if the Dems win. That alone is enough to make me vote!
THe MSM is dying too.
By 2010, the old "MSM rules" that have controlled electoral politics for decades will no longer apply.
This is perhaps the last raging gasp from the left as a majority, dictating force.
