Read the net and the treepapers with ample grains of salt.<BR/>Develop a scientific outlook about the pathetic profession of political handicapper and the spin doctor man and the Fox News babbling blitherers.<BR/>Maybe we shall pay a bit of attention to the conventions {just a bit} and who the veeps will be, and of course, some local races.<BR/>But it is going to be some thin gruel, the newsfeeds about Obama vs. McCain. I don't think it will be a blowout or a landslide, but I find it very hard to imagine McCain being able to present himself as Presidential continually for 5 months, and I am dying to see a debate. Yes, I will actually watch a TV for that. <BR/>It does seem that Dave has now conceded that the old white guy doesn't look all that great in the morning warmups. <BR/>For me, the entertainment value that the media leadsetting affords is the real distraction.<BR/>Wells of creativity will have to be dipped into to bring up something<BR/>even marginally interesting about Obama or his feral spouse.<BR/>But the media minions are well paid<BR/>and they will deliver.<BR/>And be very careful Dave. The race is part of your mealticket too, don't give away the inside dope.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
