Poll question: How is the media going to push the "horserace"?
You know it's coming, the M$M needs to create the illusion of a close horserace to keep their ratings going, generating ad revenue.

1. Maybe the media will smarten up and see that people will find it just as interesting to see a
campaign crash and burn. :evilgrin:

2. I don't think a Horserace is something they can push anymore......
Plus McCain is apeshit crazy and would tank the economy. That's the last thing that the Corporate Class wants...so they will be licking their wounds and accepting an Obama presidency. What they don't want to see is the economy go further into the toilet...they are losing money too.

4. I hope that you're right
an economic collapse doesn't benefit anyone, especially the media.

5. They will publish their own polls, like NBC did with their Michigan poll last week.
Tied my ass. They also had the national race very close :boring:
