Maybe it's just because I don't draw a paycheck from being a newsie…

I haven't invested in the necessity in having a horse race.

So, I don't think that Romney is somehow automatically entitled to be running neck-and-neck with President Obama.

Just noticing lately that Romney has been losing polls to the President all of this time is nothing less than incompetence.

And the fact that Romney stands to lose in a landslide is being treated like a character in a book called "He that can't be named" is laughable.

No one is admitting that Romney is running the worst campaign in recorded history, why is this the case?

No wonder no one trusts the media to tell them the truth.

to pull out of Ohio had nothing to do with the Federal Court ruling ordering the re-establishment of early voting for all, right?

That's the bigger story, IMHO.

The equation has changed. The Media does NOT deliver news to you, it delivers YOU to the advertisers. A "horse race" is necessary to keep viewers tuned in to keep MSM ad revenues up.

Never forget the whole purpose of Mass Media is there do deliver an audience to and advertiser. Period.
