While McCain pretends to make nice, his puppets are out there spreading doom.
Somebody posted an article last night on the Crawford endorsement from a sports photographer for that paper explaining "why." It was very enlightening - more of a small-town paper editor from the next town over (who runs the Crawford paper) deciding to make a national name for himself instead of representing the people he is writing for and about.

LOL...I lived in Michigan for many years and never heard of the term Michiganian, unless it was from an Ohio State fan, but they never were too bright.
Those Newsweek Fartknockers! Why do they do that? They purposely tried to show a Kerry surge. He may have a little one just because he was seen on the same stage as a quite popular President, but why the bias?
Newsweek editor Evan Thomas publicly admitted on PBS that the MSM want KE win & said its' spin will give KE 10 points gain in polls.
I guess it is all relative. Dobbs authors hit pieces under the guise of being objective. I say that as a subscriber to the WP. They will definitely endorse Kerry,
The audience will probably include a bunch of Code Pinko types as well, who will be constantly interrupting Bush's answers with screaming and sign waving, all in an attempt to once again throw him on the defensive, as well as to get themselves ejected on national TV so the media can attack the administration for it's "disregard of the First Amendment rights of people with legitimate dissenting points of view."
Just like Kerry can't help being a pompous, arrogant, condescending stiff, the Rats can't help WAY overdoing their idiotic staged protests.
Cokie Roberts on This Weak w/Georgie said the townhall debate is not yet certain to happen because a disagreement on this very issue. Pubbies are wary the audience will be stacked against and will likely prevent it.
"Bush is afraid to meet face-to-face with ordinary working families!!!!!"
Backing out of the debate will cause a lot more damage to the campaign than putting up with a bunch of Code Pinko nonsense and "When did you stop beating your wife?" tyoe questions.
I think heckling libs and pinkos disrupting the debate will help our man.
I think we should have a bunch of fake "moderate" Republicans who are really conservatives armed with info from Swift Boat Vets, Kerry's voting record, etc.
If the leftists start yelling, then our side starts yelling, too. If the whole thing degenerates into a free-for-all ruckus, at least it will be interesting.
On several shows including Unreliable Sources, they have people on talking about the Newsweak Poll and it's impact. They just accept the poll as fact. There is no underlying analysis of the poll itself. Even when the original polls came out showing W with a 11 point lead, we all thought they were garbage.
A show like Unreliable Resources would be better if they analyzed the poll itself instead of having a bunch of talking heads like Gergen (puke alert)discussing the impact of polls. If course, the show is on CNN so they are just pushing the Kerry agenda anyway.
I completely agree - my point is that the Rats always shoot themselves in the foot by staging this kind of stuff, thinking it will sway people into voting for their loony candidates. They're the worst at it when they start getting cocky, thinking they are ahead.
All President Bush has to do is keep a smile on his face while the moonbats bay away at him, maybe even make a comment to the effect that "Senator Kerry's supporters are out in force tonight, I see", and Kerry would be in an impossible spot. Denounce the disruptors and lose his base, or embrace them as the "heart and soul of America" and kiss the middle goodbye.
The up side is that the poll isn't representative of fact. So now the media has to advance a fradulent poll to attempt to sway the American public that their opinions should reflect a huge swing for Kerry, as NewsWeek showed. Their trouble is going to be that we have the 'net and talk radio to compensate. I do not include FOX because they haven't exactly shown sense in this matter.
They'll also have the tough job of convincing the public they should swing their votes to Kerry, when what Kerry said frightened anyone listening.
Now kerry is coming out with a poll saying he won a stylistic debate, he doesn't use the "s" word but we know what they all mean. This coming week is going to be fun for us.
Or as Rush calls him
" A Tad too Divine"
Yes, it will. The audience will not respond favorably to attacks on the President by a rigged audience. Bush is also helped by being allowed to communicate directly with an audience. He's never been able to develop a love affair the camera. He relates to people, not inantimate objects.
Townhall is my favorite forum for Bush. Has been all along even though many feel it a mistake to have agreed to it.
I slept though them - caught part of the panel on FNS - will watch it this afternoon. I was glad to get on here, hoping to read what I had missed.
