Network news executives said they are preparing for an unusual Election Night challenge: How to be honest with the audience, and still keep them tuned in, if the race between John McCain and Barack Obama is effectively decided before most Americans have finished dinner. --------------------------------------------------------

Politico has really gone down the toilet in the last month or so..

WTF?

[Izzy Dunne]

“How to Remove Bricks from Your Television” might sell really well...

[mylife]

Politico blows

[FlingWingFlyer]

What are they smoking over there at Politico?

[AU72]

I agree. If McCain takes Pennsylvania, NC and Virginia early, it’s over.

[library user]

Politico is becoming the new Scrappleface.

Except they believe their own bullshit.

[sunmars]

when you want to temper down your opponents enthusiasm, then you want to depress their turnout, they did the same in 2004.
They had Kerry way up , was calling him Mr President by election morning.

Its fear tactics, what it might do is push out republican turnout higher.

Keep telling everyone, this election is not over until we say it is, and the more the media says its over, the more pissed off people will become. Remember they did this to Hillary for 5 months, every Primary, oh its over and everytime they did, Hillary won again and again.

So dont believe the bullshi^, get out and fight, if it was so over, then why would they bother making a point it was,and why would Obama be campaigning like a whore at a convention.

Obama’s pole

[clamper1797]

I truly hope the American populous has not gotten that stupid ... if we have we might as well give it up as we would no longer deserve self rule

[FlingWingFlyer]

I agree.

[truthandlife]

Remember what they are trying to do...

Obama has to have a trifecta to win (voter fraud (which he has), Republicans staying home and the Hillary vote). The media is trying to do “perception is reality.” It is the oldest marketing strategy in the book (trust me, I am in marketing).

The only way Obama wins is if we get discouraged and stay home. When conservatives stay home, Dems win. They know this but won’t share that with you because they don’t want us to show up to the polls. Why do you think they are attacking Palin so badly? Because they thought they had this election in the bag by picking McCain. When Palin came on she stirred the Republican base. In the history of Presidential elections there has never been a VP candidate that has been attacked so viciously and been in the news so much. If conservatives show up to vote we win and win BIG.

I pray we get to shove all their pom-poms right up their backsides!

I have been predicting a call for McCain by 10pm Pacific time.  Sorry Politico.

Let's see how far off base I am.  I don't think it will be by much.



  The FReepathon Challenge has been extended to 10/20/08 12:01am.  (I wasn't able to focus and push the effort like I wanted to by the 15th.  Let's go for it.)

Politico and HuffPoop are becoming one and the same.

Unbelievable how they let liberal druggies run that place now.

[beaversmom]

We are going to get this 150% now. Calls of its over, its over. Don’t let it get you down people. I think what they will do is have the polls close for a bit to try to scare people on Obama’s side that McCain could take it and then show Obama slipping away with a double digit lead.

[ConfidentConservative]

Politico endorsing Obama?

Looks that way to me.

[eeriegeno]

That does it! Not anymore reason for me to go vote since it’s all over. /sarc

[CaptainK]

As thought the MSM would contain their glee and act like professionals.
