Well, no, it's obviously not just about the ratings.  they'd much rather have St John.  But, regardless of to whom they owed their loyalty, they'd be pushing a close race.

Tough to do when Grandpa's admitting he needs to campaign in states Dems haven't won in 44 years, though.

That disconnect may well not be in the tradmed's favour. There is such a difference between the mood of the country (as I preceive it) and what the TM are pushing that people will be forced to confront the fact that they're being lied to.

Kinda like the LA Times story that describes mainstream thinking in the US as the wild and wacky "far-left". People are gonna say "but that's me" and identify more with the blogs than the TM.

Or am I just clutching at straws ?

No, you're right.  It's been interesting to watch as the gap between the press and the public widens.  It gives me a little hope that my fellow countrymen aren't almost all dumber than bricks.

The tradmed is losing touch with the American people.  I think the economic meltdown has focused the electorate.
