One of the many ominous signs is the latest TIME magazine, with McCain smiling Presidentially on its cover. "The Phoenix", says the headline, "Can McCain Keep Rising?".

I subscribed to TIME magazine for several years, and one thing I learned is that TIME never puts a Republican on its cover with a flattering photo unless that is the person they desperately want for something. I haven't read the commentaries yet, but I'm sure it's something along the lines of "Can he bring America together? Can he get the independent votes?".

Then of course we have the NYT and LAT endorsing McCain. Plenty of Dem strategists saying that McCain will be able to "reach across the aisle" and get things done.

I have to think about these fine American institutions in the light of the fact that they will accept none other than a Democratic victory. There is no "repuke" they would ever consider even damning with faint praise.

Given that, it is logical to assume that they still expect and demand a Democratic victory. McCain seems to be vital to their hopes. They don't want to work with McCain, they want to work with Hillary.

I'll have to think long and hard about it before I go in the voting booth. There is strategery afoot, and something stinks.

They are many many liberal rags supporting McCain. The libs want to win on the Republican ticket or the Democrat ticket - they will win either way. They are using their voice with their propaganda on - like you say - on covers of magazines - he's been the media talking voice - he's getting free advertising from them - every where you look - it's McCain.

It works like advertising works - over and over - companies spend big bucks on advertising because it works. Vote Mitt and let the media and libs eat dirt.
