What Isn't Being Reported In These Final Two Weeks

We got an election about the issues, FINALLY. Not just that but the polls tightened because of it. Yes, the McCain campaign has used name calling (socialist, etc) mixed in with its attacks on Obama's tax and health care plans but he is attacking the plans. Obama is failing to answer the attacks and instead simply making what he is calling his closing argument. Excuse me, he is simply side stepping the attacks as “old politics” and leaving his ad nausea response of "McCain will continue President Bush policies". We actually have each candidate emphasizing the differences between them. Enjoy these final few days of debate over the policies, something both promised yet both failed to do. We could get into who went off policy only attacks first but it is irrelevant unless one believes two wrongs make a right.

Sadly, the media hasn’t reported what is going on in this light. For the most part I’ve had almost no issues with AC 360 but I disagree with what they said last night, that it wasn’t a media driven thing to talk about Palin’s wardrobe 4-5 days later than when it first broke because she mentioned it Sunday. it would have been nice if they had talked about instead her speech on energy and her speech on special needs children. Part of this is also her campaigns fault though. They’ve spent so much time on gimmicks and tactics that they’ve failed to push forward there message. It also kills any attempt at policy message when you have out right idiots in fighting but in public and leaking personal attacks on the VP of their own ticket.
