23. The Media Likes Drama, so they will do what they need to do to make this
Dramatic.

They need to deliver ratings, so they can get more and more advertiser dollars.

The way they feel they can do this is to make everything like a narrative soap opera.

So they will spin Edwards Kerry battle as a soap opera.

They were talking on MSNBC last night how this "surge" gives more "entertainment value" to their coverage.

Electibility? Sure it will be discussed. . . .Both guys have their pros and cons re electibility, so yes I expect it to be discussed.
