My bookmaking powers were pretty good.
The over/under for Obama is 54%: Result 53% Unders win.
The over/under for Biden is 3%: Result 2.97 that is a push. No winners.
The over/under for McCain is 52%: Result 45% Unders Win
R Smitty Wins!
Morning thought: I think the Republicans voting for McCain do so hoping that he is lying about wanting to stay in Iraq for 100 years.
Well, congrats to the Dems for winning the 2008 (and doing so without having the final candidate set).
Congrats to the MSM for their near brilliant mix of villification, victimization, and seemingly grudging respect for McCain. They successfully got what they wanted: his taking of the nomination, guaranteeing a Democrat win in November.
The MSM simply outplayed everyone. Sure I am angry, disappointed, and fearful. But I have to admire theis skill.
Those Dems on here that critize the MSM better think twice. They proved what allegiance they have to you.
The MSM doe not have grudging respect for McCain — they absolutely adore the guy and have since 2000 or before. But then, McCain worked hard at that adoration — the reporters who follow him always note that he is ALWAYS available to them and he treats them like gold. McCain has had a long-term investment in good relations with the press and it pays off for him handsomely.
You have not been victimized by the MSM — you have been outflanked by a guy who put alot of work into getting the press on his side.
Besides which — it is teh awesome that Limbaugh, Hannity are being shown as not really having the kind of sway that everyone thought.
“McCain has had a long-term investment in good relations with the press and it pays off for him handsomely.”
Only so long as it suits the MSM purpose. Once we are squarely in the General, they will turn on him like a pack of wolves. There will be nothing but bones left in November when they get done with him.
“Limbaugh, Hannity are being shown as not really having the kind of sway that everyone thought”
They still have strong sway among listeners. But radio listenership is down because of busy lifestyles and options. I used to consume every minute of Rush and Hannity as I could. But now with mp3 players and podcasts, I hardly ever listen. Even talk radio can’t stop the decline in radio listeners. Just think how even less relevant Airhead America is now.
Thank you, thank you! What an honor it is to be standing on the top this morning. While Jason’s bookmaking abilities were good, mine were obviously better. Thank you! Thank you! You really love me, you really love me! You really, really do!
Now on to that deck project!
