The only thing that will matter (groan..."at the end of the day"), is what the 3 networks cover tonight. Will they show Powell's strong points? Will they provide balanced assessments? How will they divide the time between Powell statements, commentators, and what the lying Iraqi says.
That's what will determine public opinion here. And face it, that's the major importance of Colin Powell making this presentation to the UN today, to persuade the American people that we are righteous in going to war with Iraq. Makes me sick to think "public opinion" is in the hands of Peter, Tom, and Dan.
I hope these democrat senators he's talking about will hit the microphones this afternoon...in time for the evening news.
and on that Senate filibuster promised on another thread, over the nomination of Estrada. What a great day for democrat senators to try and pull this off..while they won't get lots of attention for this blatant display of obstruction.
