Aside from an occasional National feed of news, live, like a school shooting or a weather disaster, police chasing a car, the main action is speculation. 'Pundit' after 'pundit' and similar panelists take up hour after hour guessing...as though their guess has better odds than those of the listeners.
Heard tonight on Hardball, the Chris Matthews show: "Can Obama win over the regular folks against McCain?" And, I wished I could ask, "...and could you please explain where these regular folks are and how I can find them?" Perhaps they are the 'working class' people. Do we still have lots of coupon cutters in our day? They didn't call them poor class, or middle class...just working class. I think all CEOs think they work, don't they?
I'm sure I am not the only one who is exhausted from changing channels when the panelists start deciding and recommending the candidate for the job of VP. Since there will be an imminent announcement forthcoming, why should we be treated to their guessing? Clearly none of them are on the inside of the process or are they secretly being urged to send up trial balloons?
Chris Matthews, who contributed greatly to knocking Hillary Clinton out of the race is now actively campaigning for her to be nominated to share the ticket with Obama. Whatever his motive for that, I can't believe it is coming from his crystal balls which are looking fairly fragile as his following slowly has dropped. When will the man learn the difference between racial and ethnic? That he wants to learn nothing is reflected by the fact that he has not shared a way to be reached by email.
