Funny how the media idiots are in complete denial now
This is mostly from watching Joe dead intern but I am seeing it on other shows also:

1. This election is still close. McCain could pull it out. You know, the "Bradley effect".
2. This country is still a center right country even if Obama wins.
3. The right wing "elite" were mean to Sarah because she isn't one of them and McCain was brilliant to pick her.

Here are the facts:

- McCain has been down consistently for 6 weeks in the polls 6 - 10 points and there is no movement. Any movement at this date is not going to happen.

- Every poll indicates that Palin is the most unpopular of the four candidates and is hurting McCain significantly.

- The Bradley effect may have never happened in the first place and that election happened 26 years ago. It was not seen at all in the primaries.

- The demographics show the country is becoming less conservative. The big story every one is missing this year is that the red solid south is history. A black progressive candidate from the upper Midwest is winning Virgina, North Carolina, and Florida and is close in Georgia.

So Joe and Mike B., you can continue to live in your conservative fantasy would for another 11 days. We will love watching you explain what happened in a couple of weeks.

lackluster ratings.

2. "America is a center right country."
"America is a center right country."
"America is a center right country."
"America is a center right country."
"America is a center right country."
"America is a center right country."
"America is a center right country."
"America is a center right country."
"America is a center right country."
"America is a center right country."

How many times did they say that when Peggy Noonan was on?

Reagan is God.

Blah Blah Blah.

Hey Joe, tell us about that dead intern in your office. And would the blonde please fix her hair so she doesn't have to keep flipping her head to get her hair out of her eye? What is it with that "style" anyway? It looks stupid. Get your hair out of your face!

3. Corporations certainly WANT us to be a center-right (or even fascist) country
That's way they pay these propagandists on msm. They're trying to push the country in that direction.

4. So true it's funny.
It's funny, too, to see some people trying to praise Sarah Palin and talk about her running in 2012. She's an anchor around McCain's neck, and she's a laughingstock, as well as representing the bigoted, ignorant wing of the Republican party. I hope they do try to run her in 2012! Obama will win by even more than this year.

6. Even if there's some movement, it's too little and too late.
Stick a fork in him. He's done.
