David Shuster showed Biden speaking and then cut away saying they'll show OBAMA when HE speaks. Then they only showed 9 minutes of him, cutting away, saying they'll "monitor" it FOR us and go back to it if he makes any news. Compare that to their 100% coverage of Palin AND McCain every time they repeat their speech. And McCain has the nerve to complain about pro-Obama bias??? :eyes:

2. True. Also, their refusal to EVER show Biden has the public thinking Palin will do as well as
him in the VP debate. Obama and Biden will win the election DESPITE the media.

6. I think you hit on a good point. Biden coming in under the radar will help
keep his expectations low. It's been non-stop Failin. I think folks are expecting her performance to either match the Saracuda hype or sooth their competency concerns.

7. Thanks...
A CNN poll had expectations TIED for who would do better in the VP debate! Once people DO see Biden, I'm sure they'll realize how unqualified Palin really is!

4. I've also noticed that includes Obama's opening remarks
which are usually 2-4 minutes of thanking those who have helped put the event together. The amount of time that they give to Obama's speech is considerably less then they show of McSame-Pain.

5. Biden fans are used to it - McCain regularly gets more air time than Obama

9. The media will HAVE to start covering him once he wins the debate...
and Palin fails miserably by not being able to say anything beyond what she memorized from Bush's advisors.
