Why bother
On Tuesday, we are all supposed to go and vote. By all accounts we will have to stand in line to do that this year. But why bother, according to the media the election has already been decided. After watching report after report this evening on all major networks and local news coverage, it is unanimous Barack Obama is gong to win.
Not only is he going to win but the Democrats will sweep the Senate and achieve an overwhelming majority. The predictors and the pundits speak with such conviction of this outcome that it sounds like facts. They look at the camera with smug certainty and tell us what is going to happen.
The media love affair with Senator Obama has been so obvious during the campaign that even Saturday Night Live in the Election Bash satirized the media and their coverage of Obama.
So why should we go and vote? To prove them wrong, to show them that the American electorate can not be brainwashed by media manipulation.
GO VOTE!
