Predictions please.................
What will be the tone of the Sunday morning shows? Will the pundits be in full spin mode or will they be jumping off of the Bush ship?

1. IVE ALWAYS THOUGHT
As long as they say its close that is good for us. I was always worried that on the second to last sunday they would go WOOOO KERRY IS going to win. then they would run with that story for 10 days. But they seem to say what they have been saying sine the first debate "its so close, but the president has a small lead". Even if that is a fallacy that is good for us because it helps the GOTV. Dont you think?

2. I do agree that if people
believed that Kerry was way ahead they would think he was "safe" and that it would be okay if they did not make it to the polls. Now that they know it is very close and that they could tip the scales I think it does give them more incentive to get out there and vote.

3. Full spin mode
indicated by the following article that I posted on:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6363683/

The topics this sunday:
How much does the tape help bush?
Should Kerry voters stay home because of the tape?
Why does OBL love Kerry so much?
How can "they" keep us safe? (straight from the new RNC banner ad)

I think this is just a sample of what we will hear today..

What will not be mentioned:
380 tons of missing explosives
$75 billions more for Iraq
At least 10 more marines dead this week
bush outsourced the job of catching OBL
bush saying "i'm really not that concerned about (OBL)"
Tony Blair secretly establishing repor with soon to be K/E admin!

5. THE FULL SPIN MODE
It would be funny when they do that if it wasnt so nauseating. ECK! How come with Bush is up by even one damn point its a small lead and when Kerry is up by one its either a TOSS UP OR Statistically insignificant. They make me sick. A lot of it is tone though, this week on some of the shows they definately took the tone that Kerry COULD win, but not that he will.

4. Close calls increase audience
They will say it's close to keep getting ratings. That's the game. But I think it is close. It could go either way. That's what has me in knots. I literally am not sleeping well these days.
