""Do the American people want to elect the world's biggest celebrity or do they want to elect an
American hero?" Celebrity wouldn't hurt in California (I'm a native son so I have liberties)

This is Rove playing checkers instead of chess. Pretty lame ass stuff. The people are beyond this
except those who truly will vote on the basis of race but they're lost anyway.

Three questions for your consideration:

1) The scant, barely perceptible pro Obama press period: was this a set up for the trashing of
Obama? I think so. They started up their crap while he was in Europe and are now on a roll.
Stewart's seven or eight corporate media talking head montage of insults tonight really brought it
home. The set up gives them plausible deniability, which they can play until their orders change, if
they ever do.

2) Are they so desperate that they're fixing the pre election polls against all logic?
Every time a president or presidential candidate has gone to Europe, it's the same tune from
corporate media - the inevitable bump in the polls of going to Europe on a high visibility tour.
Now Obama goes and hits it out of the park, especially in Germany, and corporate media starts its
rebound from the imperceptible (noticed by them only) pro Obama press period of hours. What's the
first tear down item on the agenda - did Obama's huge reception in Europe hurt him in the polls.
What are they smoking to allow them to believe this crap. They are so contemptuous to try to
sell this garbage.

3) Along the theme of #2, was the reviving of the "Bradley effect" the first seed in the set up
for stealing this election? It wasn't demonstrated anywhere in the primaries that I've seen,
particularly when you look at the vote count v. exit poll stats (and correct Obama up to the
exit polls that were valid). The reintroduction of "the Bradley effect" should signal both the
intent to steal this election and also a sense of desperation on the part of the McBush campaign.
They'll use that, I believe, when they feel they have nothing left but outright manipulation of
the final vote counts.

Just a few thoughts.
