For Sunday, April 27, 2008
FOX News Sunday (FNS): Host Chris Wallace sits down, after dares and double-dares, with 2008 Democratic Presidential nominee-to-be Barack Obama.
This Week (ABC): Host George Stephanopoulos sits down Senator Evan Bayh, former Senator Tomster Daschle, and Representatives Artur Davis of Alaska and Sheila Jackson Lee of Texas to argue about the Dem nomination: Hillary vs. Obama? Evan and Sheila are Hillary supporters, while Davis and Daschle are pro-Barry.
Meet the Press (NBC): Host Tim Russert will talk to DNC boss Howard Dean. "YEAAARRRRGH!"
Face the Nation (CBS): Host Bob Schieffer grills Obama strategist David Axelrod and Hillary's mouthpiece Howard Wolfson.
Late Edition (CNN): Host Wolf Blitzer talks about the Norks with Dianne Feinstein and Pete Hoekstra, then he sidles up to two foreign policy advisors: Hillary's Jamie Rubin and Obama's Susan Rice.
= = = = =
Except for Blitzer's usual foreign policy detour, this week's Sunday Shows will be about the Democrat's divide. We have the surrogates: TW, FTN, LE. We have one of the chief facilitators of the division: Dean on MTP. We have the divider-in-chief: Obama on FNS.
It could be like this for a long time.
I'll watch the shows and report back tomorrow afternoon.

It's clear that some are re-thinking Obama, but I believe alot of dems think Obama will still win big in November. Go figure. It will be too late and he will be the nominee before they see the light.
It reminds me of buying a car at night. The car really looks good on the lot under the lights. But the next day after you've bought the car and driven it home and looked at it in the sunshine - whoaa! - this thing's a "POS"!
The nutroots are already nervous about Obama's appearance with Wallace. Seems they can't handle their guy taking any hard questions whatsoever.
Someone running for President of the United States should be able to sit in a room with any relatively mainstream, respectful reporter and field hard, unscripted questions. Period. If not, they are simply not qualified for the most powerful office in the world. A movement confident in their candidate would relish the opportunity to convert the unconverted.
By the way, Artur Davis is from Alabama, not Alaska. It'll be a while before Alaska elects a black Congressman...
I got the listing from the This Week page at ABCNews.com, and it reads "Rep. Artur Davis, D-Ala." I might have been thinking of Alaska's Governor Palin and her new baby.
in Alaska is quite small, mostly in Anchorage and Fairbanks, and like the rest of the Country trends heavily Democrat. Should a Black run for Congress here, his problem would be that he/she was a Democrat, not that he/she was Black. Even with the small population Blacks have held seats in the Legislature and have been Cabinet officers.

Shock: Associated Press distorts the truth to claim “The electoral road to the White House favors Democrats this fall …”
They use the 2004 election results and Democrat talking points to show why she "assumes" Obama and Clinton would have an edge on McCain.
The article by LIZ SIDOTI might have as well been written by the Democratic National Committeee. I suspect it is an attempt to offset the clear electorial advantage McCain clearly has opened up. At the least, it probably is geared to save Obama’s campaign from falling apart.

Wright and ask if he agrees and why or why not.
Chris referred to the unrepentant terrorist Ayers as a "60's radical".
Never confronted him about his statement saying that the reason white Pennsylvanians favor Hillary over him is that they have "turned to antipathy towards people not like them" due to bitterness born of economic decline.
pathetic
they might as well as had fnc's obama sycophant, major garrett question him, or maybe have michelle question about how he stinks in the morning...

... is not going to, ever. The reason is simple: if the host confronts the guest with actual questions. the guest, and by extention other guests, will not come on the program again in the future and the host rapidly finds him/her-self out of a job. Self-preservation and career advancement are stronger motivations than journalistic ethics --- which has become an obsolete concept in and of itself.

.....that are going to wind up nominating Obama this year are kind of like a reluctant bridegroom forced into a shotgun wedding by the bride's daddy when the groom knows that somebody else knocked her up....they have no choice but to go through with it even though they know that in November the result isn't what they originally wanted and there isn't a damn thing they can do about it but smile and pretend how happy they are.
