Every count should vote.
No media bias in the TV industry. Move along, these aren't the droids you're looking for.
What a wonderful Clash of the Egos that must have been! :-D
But with Republicans largely forsaking a domestic agenda to coast on war-on-terrorism fumes, and with Democrats casting about for a new message to get on-message about (so desperately that their leadership recently sent letters to cable executives begging for more television coverage), the most forceful voice at the moment seems to be McAuliffe's. It's not every day that 300 media organizations flock to Harlem to cover a voter-registration-themed fund-raiser.
I don't agree with the writer's sentiment that the Rats are regaining traction at all.
Clinton goes to the Apollo and gets treated like the Risen Christ. So what's new? McAuliffe spews the usual talking points. I still don't see what's new? The Lapdog press shows up to catch a vision of their Rock Star President who presided over their own Gilded Age. I'm not sure that anyone should be surprised that the Press will cover Clinton, so why is this reporter?
Bear in mind that this is the Weekly Standard. Their mission in life is to attack Bush from the right. Personally, I don't believe for one minute that Bush is ignoring domestic politics. Just this past week he led a raid into South Dakota. He is also positioning the Democrats as the Party of Obstruction. Bob Dole was never as stupid as Daschle has been.
While Labash's article is yet another example of DoomnGloom Conservative writing, it's also a curious picture of the Democratic Party of the moment:
Not one new idea. Just a bitter past to lean on.

I have the right to remain silent. Anything I say can be
used against me in a court of law.
HEY, WHO WROTE THIS SPEECH?
Very good point! It's like the media's continual worship of JFK, "Jackie O",and the rest of the Kennedy clan.
And ... if any of the dems are honest with themselves (which I know is a stretch), the 2002 election is already over - AND THEY LOST BIG TIME!!
This little statement says it all! Now ... please try to convince me that their naysaying is regaining in strength. If that were really the case, they wouldn't have had to write the letters to the cable companies.
Besides, McAuliffe is as much a hatchet man as Carville is - and I believe the public is already aware that either of these men will say whatever it takes to make the President look bad. For McAuliffe to say Bush is doing a "fair" job at the war on terrorism and Gore would have done better - is way beyond reality.
I hope you are right! I think Bush is a moral man and if the DamnocRATS and Repubs would JUST PUT THE COUNTRY AND US FIRST and their campaigns and their PERSONAL interest, just maybe we could get somewhere.
I wish Billy Jeff would just go away like the nightmare he is!
