"It's the media, stupid" - a suggestion to help the cause
I think we would all agree that the vast majority of voters get their "information" from the MSM, especially the cable and broadcast television networks. Al Gore, apparently, is beginning a cable channel soon, INdTV ( http://www.indtv.tv ). I am not suggesting that we "piggyback" on his network, but rather finance an honest, comprehensive kind of CNN to air ALL of the facts. I think if our media is perceived as too Democratic or progressive, then most voters will not pay attention. If the proposed cable broadcast network is perceived as REALLY "fair and balanced" as opposed to the Faux propaganda, then we just may have a shot at getting the truth out there. This is a half-baked idea but I think a damn good one. Unfortunately, I have no media contacts and no expertise in this field. What do you think ?

2. To hell with fair and balanced
the conservatives long ago declared all out, total war against us - its time we do the same - remember, second best is still a loser.
