Sober up! We had better not think the blogosphere is gaining on the LSM. Nor should Duncan Hunter think he can get front and center by going around them, sadly, still the kingmakers/breakers.
***That's the first intelligent submission I've seen on this angle. I happen to agree with you that the LSM is still in the catbird seat, but there are ways to get facetime in the media. One way I suggested was to have Bush ask Cheney to resign due to reasons of ill health -- Cheney takes one for the team since he has no interest in running for pres. Then Bush nominates Hunter for VP, and even if Hunter doesn't get ratified, the exposure makes him a household name. This is just one scenario out of several where the exposure could happen quite rapidly.
Wholly crap! That is absolutely nuts!
