Check the national average and check out the trend for each state at the links on the right.



For example, here is Florida:



Montana:



Pennsylvania:



While the media is trying to spin an advantage, McClown is actually playing catchup.

1. K&R.....and btw what does he have to show for his "experience?"
I wish the librul media would press some of HIS surrogates on McCain's "achievements" like they do Obama's!

4. not according to Washington Week in Review, or whatever they call that PBS horrorshow.
words can't describe the almost complete one-sided narrative they furthered tonight....point after point after right wing talking point, as they described what McCcain did to Obama, while, of course bemoaning that the campaign is sinking into the mud....sound familiar?

they did mention that some of the stuff McCain said wasn't true, but only in passing, and as part of the explication of how effective his campaign was in flattening the Obama foreign affairs trip bounce

I don't want to keep this up, because it's SO infuriating. JUst so you'll know, the host was John Harwood (former WSJ hack). Guests Pete Williams (former Bush admin spokesman, now NBC apologist), some guy from the conservative National Journal, who was the chief propaganda catapulter, and some some woman from the LA Times, who just nodded her head gravely, mostly, at the effectiveness of the McCain campaign in portraying Obama as playing the race card, and approving how wonderfully strong the McCain 'brand' is (anybody loathe that nauseatingly overused word as much as I?), which mitigates against the media, apparently, from telling the truth about how low he's sunk from his anointed title as straight talking, honorable maverick.

I could go on, but it was really disgusting to see such a one-sided view of reality, especially on a socalled liberal network...without Gwen (condie's best pal) Ifil, even.

anybody else see it?
