McCain campaign succeeding in keeping the news cycle ON them this morning.

This sucks. I want to hear the pundits continue to drool over the speech last night.

1. but they're wondering wtf he's doing. it's not too complementary

Obama rocked, who cares what the FMSM thinks about it

[Franks Wild Years]

2. It's okay...

...enough people saw Obama's speech and it'll be played again later. Right now, most people are yawning themselves half to death over the Republican VP speculation.

3. Wait for the debates

Don't you think that all of this is going to be sort of academic once the debates take place?

Obama is going to destroy McCain in those debates...that's what'll put him over the top.

I wouldn't worry too much about the media until then...things change so quickly in public perception due to how our media works...

6. I totally agree with you, Cairnius, and welcome to DU!

4. the M$M is a wholly owned subsidiary of the GOoP

they are just doing what they are paid for, helping McCain. Surely you did not expect them to do real news?
May I suggest you take 3 hours of Stephanie Miller to cure this problem?

5. Morning Joe folks are pissed that they're being "played"

And say they aren't going to talk about it anymore and then went on to talk about it.

7. Did the RNC Choose MN to Dump on Franken?

Very close Senatorial election in MN. Being there will give an excuse for the governor and every MN state official to speak and throw in something about the very close Coleman/Franken race. Will also make sure Minnesotans are forced to pay attention to the R's.

8. it's us against the media

of course they will keep on the focus on McCain, they know who butters their bread. I hope they are all wearing egg on their faces today.

9. Notice that most of the coverage of McCain isn't positive

Once we know who the VP nom is- people will go back to talking about Obama or drooling over how cool it will be to watch Biden tear WHOEVER it is apart in the debate!
