Yes, thankfully the disaster in New Orleans is over; but the disaster that is the McCain campaign is still blundering along.....

[scaeagles]

Hmmmm.....not according to polls out there. If McCain's camp is in such disarray, it would seem that Obama would have a huge and commanding lead.

Polls are becoming increasingly meaningless. Even the mainstream media (which, contrary to the "liberal" label, is very conservative leaning) is starting to turn on him.

I think it was Alex who brought up that polling is no longer that accurate. The demographic that would be showing Obama to have a larger lead no longer have landlines and it's illegal to poll cell phone numbers.

I guess the label is in the eye of the beholder, and I'm certain we could each spout example after example to support our particular view of the media, but I certainly do not concur with your assessment of a conservative leaning media.

Can we perhaps agree that, considering Conservatives see a liberal media and Liberals see a conservative media, that the actual "media" is neither or both, but certainly not exclusively or even primarily either?

The problem with your theory is that I consider myself to be a moderate, not a liberal. And if moderates see the press as leaning to the right, then... Well....

I often think that where one ranks onesself on the political spectrum is different than where others might. If I considered myself to be moderate, it doesn't make it so, it is just an issue of how I define conservative, moderate, and liberal.

Maybe Fox News

Most of the Nation voted for George Bush 4 years ago. To be a moderate you either voted for him or almost voted for him......if the very idea of voting for him was repugnant to you then I've got some bad news for you.....you're not a moderate
