2. That's the idea . . .
Then CNN can complete their changeover to "The Flyboy Channel" and Fox can just put T.H.K. on a video loop and run it continuously in the lower corner of the crawl for the next three straight months.

4. Cable News thinks it's a lot more important than it is
That's no accident, of course -- it's for the advertising revenue.

But in Real Life™, far, far fewer people get their news from cable news channels than from network broadcast news. CBS tonight hasn't 'gone negative' on the Democratic convention -- if anything, the coverage has been fairly complimentary so far.

5. It'll be hard to get a big bounce - Kerry's numbers are high already!

Listening to the Al Franken show this afternoon, he cited the stats to show this.

6. Why don't we wait until the major speeches actually start?
It's a bit early to throw in the towel.

7. There will be a big bounce. The attention causes it.

8. They are certainly TRYING..
We'll probably see somehting like this:


"...and the democrats, try as they might, could not seem to put forth anything new...Kerry's speech failed to register with the public...his wife, the foul-mouthed AFRICAN did not seem very first-lady-like...the THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS of protestors were LOCKED IN CAGES by the DEMOCRATS, and meanwhile, our popular, young president was hard at work, even though he suffered a serious injury while biking in the wilderness...he was looking for the rattlesnake that had threatened a young farm boy nearby..Our WAR/PEACE preisdent has been hard at work KEEPING AMERICA SAFE, while the democrats wear funny hats and keep the "heartlandesque decent god-fearing Bostonians from earning a living..."

or something like that :(
