If the Michigan Republican party cannot grab the governer's seat this year, they should fire everyone in charge and consider disbanding the party in Michigan. This one is being handed to them on a silver platter.

Not quite, but the only real employer, the paper mill closed about a year ago. This month, the world famous Gazoo ran the most hilariously useless "news" story ever about the mill, which should be required reading for every journalism major:

"They were hoping to have an agreement last month"

Wait, what?!?!?:confused:

This makes the typos in the Union-Leader look good.

True. That said they had the last one handed to them on a silver platter and blew it by a WIDE margin.

It's been a couple of days since Harry Reid said something stupid.

Oops, never mind. Reset that counter to 0 guys.

Now that Joe Biden has been placed somewhere in a sub-bunker in the national archives somebody has to take charge.

Mark Knoller reports Biden said the other day: "I'm second in line for the Presidency." Maybe there's a competition we don't know about.

Maybe he's really from one of those primitive tribes that can't count past one.
 
Re: Death to the Incumbent!! Your guide to the 2010 primaries

So, uh, remember when those stupid conservatives ousted Castle in Delaware, and thus ****ed a chance at a Senate majority?

Yeah, about that....

New PPP poll shows Raese up 3 on Manchin in WV, and Johnson up 11 (!) over Feingold in Wiscsonin.

Long way to go... polls are snapshots not predictions... all that other boilerplate, but still.

I do get a kick out of the right wing bias in the media. If one poll shows a close race for the Dems, its "REPUBLICANS ON CUSP OF SENATE TAKEOVER!!!!"....but, when the last 5 polls have Murray up outside of MOE on Rossi, or Boxer up on Fiorina, you need a telescope to find the coverage. :D Not to mention the Gallup poll showing Dems up 1% in the generic ballot.

Left wing media my arse. :p
 
Re: Death to the Incumbent!! Your guide to the 2010 primaries

The left wing or right wing bias one sees in the MSM is directly proportionate to one's own bias. The MSM is biased towards money and laziness. If it's a sex scandal they'll cover it. If a party faxes them their talking points reformatted as a news story, they'll run it. It's been 20 years since there was any editorial control in the MSM other than "entertain the audience without ticking off the sponsors."

Depends on what part of the media you're talking about. Talk radio is heavily right wing, but tv and online are heavily left wing.

Depends what TV and online you mean.

When I talk MSM TV I am thinking the 3 dinosaur networks, and although people from Freep and Kos go through the roof when I say it, I don't think any of them are editorially biased. OTOH, Fox News and MSNBC are so bad they might be parodies.

Newspapers, insofar as they're even relevant any more, have more obvious editorial bias. CSM and McPaper are unbiased. NYT, WaPo and WSJ are biased but will at least acknowledge contrary evidence. The rest are either inward-looking local papers with little or no real national reporting, or clown outfits like the Washington Times.

Talk radio is right wing crazytown. The NPR network is probably trying to be neutral but they can't help themselves since everybody has a doctorate in New Age Healing from UCSB. And then there is a scant lefty network that, like Fox or MSNBC, just recycles the waste back into their audience, without even the pretense of legitimacy.

The web is so broad I don't think anybody can claim dominance or even preponderance. I heard a ghastly story a few days ago that there are now web search engines with particular ideological filters -- Islamic, Fundamentalist Christian, etc. Think Conservapedia but even sadder. Talk about people feeling they are entitled to their own facts.

We will someday reach that Great Moment when everyone has fastened their blinders on securely, and nobody is ever bothered by any thought outside their comfort zone ever again.
