Face it: we're all exhausted, worn down by months of being mercilessly hammered by Mainstream Media messages of the Inevitable Ascension of Obama I, the Most Merciful. All those awful poll numbers and hagiographic stories and halo-enhanced images and pictures of crowds of zillions stretching out into infinity (amazing what a fish-eye lens can do, eh?).
Just yesterday I found that every MSM web site was flush with stories of how confident the Obama camp was and how awful things are going for McCain, while serving up fresh helpings of positive spin for the former and negative for the latter. How can we compete with a public relations campaign masquerading as "news"?
It's funny, though. Quietly, polls have been creeping back toward McCain. And these are polls that have been heavily weighted toward Democrats in the expectation of a massive wave of excited new liberal voters and a depressed turnout of tired, worn-out, unenthusiastic Republicans.
And yet.... the crowds for Sarah Palin have been huge. McCain is fighting like he has never before. The Republican base is energized. And the media, which acting as the communications arm of the Obama campaign has tried to manage expectations, are staring to get a little... nervous.
There is good reason for them to be. KEEP FIGHTING!!!!
