Who is this election about?

Poll question: Who is this election about?

Chuck Todd MSNBC's Political Director says the election is a referendum on Obama not Bush (or McCain). (Countdown, July 8, 2008)

Who do you think the election is a referendum on?

If you happen to have an opinion that differs from the esteemed Mr. Todd, please explain why you feel the way you do.

That's certainly what the corporate media is trying to get the public to think.

I don't think it will work, though, with economic conditions.

5. The economy has been trumped today by the FISA vote. n/t

6. Only to political junkies like us and to the media.

Most average people on the street wouldn't know what you were talking about if you asked them about FISA.

7. That may be true...

...but that doesn't mean it is not important.

I just wish the GOP-controlled media would discuss more than one issue at a time.

This "talk-about-one-issue-every-day-for-nine-days-while-ignoring-everything-else" shit it getting old.

1. The m$m and McCain are 'trying' to make it about Obama; I sorely

wish he doesn't let them. Now McSame's VN history is being used by the RNC; I think it's time to revisit Wes Clark's point; a POW does not a prez make.

2. FYI: I added a new selection for those who might agree with Chuck Todd. n/t

3. I would say SHRUB alone

not the whole republican party...just him and his miserable failure of an administration.

4. Post-FISA kick n/t

[MedleyMisty]

8. Diebold and also our whole system of government

As long as voting is manipulated, the results of elections are pretty meaningless. And the numbers of people who drop out and stop participating reflect on our whole system and how it disenfranchises people and ignores their voice.

9. I agree, we also shouldn't allow ourselves...

...to be so easily led about by whatever issues the GOP-controlled media chooses to entertain us with.
