The media has jumped into the driver's seat of this election campaign and is steering the headlines in favor of McCain. A few days ago the top story on the morning newscasts was that McCain's speech made convention history. A day later a story buried on Huffington Post noted that he was actually tied. It was too late, since the media had already acheived its purpose. They want to blow life into a political corpse.
Now we are seeing suspect polls from the USA Today/ Gallup polls indicating a phenomenal bounce for McCain. I am not going to parse these polls, but I am convinced that now is the time for progressives to get up and fight. We did not fight when Kerry was running for President. We did not fight when Gore was running for President. We must get up and fight now. Over eighteen million people voted for Barack in the primaries and he needs us now. We must renergize and refocus.
The administration is using its power to intimidate the media, shut down the Palin investigation and bump commentators off the air. Folks this is a knife fight and we can not sit here in a fetal position. We need to seize control of the narrative once again. Please let me know what you plan to do and how we can collectively become an unstoppable force.
