It NEEDS To Be a Close Race

For eons now, we've been hearing that the race is 'dead even'. I've never believed that to which both of my readers can attest. This 'dead even' race is essential to the media for a couple of reasons, maybe more:

• Their guy is losing, has always been losing, is a loser, will always be a loser, and he will be losing this next Tuesday.
• It's imperative to be able to report on a 'real' race. If the polls on either one of the candidates were totally out of whack, what would they have to keep their job interesting?
• Not that the pollsters are trumping up their numbers, but all polls can be skewed.
• The vast majority of Americans just aren't impressed with John Kerry. They don't like him. They don't believe him. They don't want his wife to be First Lady.
• The appearance of a close race keeps the media in an 'essential' realm. If the race is not close, what are they to report on day in and day out.

It's not a close race. President Bush is going to be handily re-elected because we are at war and America doesn't want a Vietnam war protester as our commander in chief. Nor is America ready for the most liberal senator from Massachusetts to be called 'Mr. President'. Nor does America want Theresa to be our First Lady. The reasons he will not be elected president next Tuesday are nearly infinite.
