#2 the very LAST thing the Dems want now is for people's attention to turn to Iraq and learn the truth: that the Dems were wrong and lied to the people about the surge and are lying now about "The War Is Lost", and "Quagmire".

#4 Well, DV, the MSM isn't going to do that, or for that matter the RNC.

#5 Thats the sad thing - McCain and the RNC have no guts, unless it comes to spending more and more. That they do, including the porked up farm bil they passed over President Bush's veto.

#6 excuse me, I dont think McCain supported the farm bill.

And McCain is going to remind people of the gains in Iraq. I dont know about the RNC.

#7 LH, you have to wonder how well McCains message on Iraq qill get through.

Obama gets a walk with his "pullout now" talk, while McCain gets hammered by the press: instead of the press discussing the fact that troops ARE reducing in number and violence is down, political goals are being met, the press slams him over verb tenses.

I doubt we will see anything close to the truth - the press constantly misdirects and spins, and misinforms.

#8 Part of the challenge is for McCain to get his words and message out despite the MSM.

Another part of the challenge for McCain is to get past the MSM to show Obama as he really is.

That's the challenge for a Repub in 2008, like it or not.

#9 That's the challenge for every Republican every time.

Reagan excelled at it. His successors, not so much.

#10 The fix to the MSM is simple. Take away the credentials of reporters that don't treat you fairly. Why should that hack Helen Thomas be at all White House press briefings. Make it a outreach to new media channels. Decredential the NYT for printing secret information. Then do it to others. They'll come around or the Desmoines Register or some other paper will be the 'newspaper of record'.

#11 And for that matter don't worry about the fairness doctrine either. Just make sure it includes TV, newspapers and film. Then get a bunch of crakerjack conservative lawyers and kick the MSM, hollywood and the rest of their asses - all the way to the conservative supreme court.

We'll have a 30 min. Rush Limbaugh show for free right after World News Tonight. Every night. Force hollywood to make conservative movies.

The left will be repealing the fairness doctrine in a bout 4 nanoseconds. Or we crush the MSM. I'm good either way.
