Colin suggested I check out what John McCain's fellow Arizonians are saying about him and report back. My access to the internet may be limited while I'm out there but I'll see what I can find out.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8707968508757013879-1253885991620754537?l=mintelection.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Erniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04281137498610390442noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8707968508757013879.post-79781167795042265072008-09-17T05:10:00.000-07:002008-09-17T05:35:15.769-07:00I've been thinking about how we get our news these days and the growing role of non news people in that process. I just got cable at my house a couple of months ago so cable news is still a novelty to me. Watching CNN and MSNBC last night, it was clear we get our news with a point of view now, although both seemed to be in Sarah Palin backlash mode last night.<br /><br />There was an article in the Hartford Courant yesterday about pundits in the political coverage process, <a href="http://www.courant.com/entertainment/tv/hc-toomany.artsep16,0,2839138.story">http://www.courant.com/entertainment/tv/hc-toomany.artsep16,0,2839138.story</a> . So are we getting our news through a filter of Ann Coulter and Keith Olbermann now?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8707968508757013879-7978116779504226507?l=mintelection.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Erniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04281137498610390442noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8707968508757013879.post-65852366548415196912008-09-14T10:14:00.000-07:002008-09-14T10:25:16.077-07:00The Frank Rich op-ed piece in the NY Times, The Palin-Whatshisname Ticket, <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/14/opinion/14rich.html?em">http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/14/opinion/14rich.html?em</a> struck a note with me because I've been wondering how this election became the Obama Palin election rather than the Obama McCain election in the last week.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8707968508757013879-6585236654841519691?l=mintelection.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Erniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04281137498610390442noreply@blogger.com0
