Comments on: An Election Day Rant http://thegazz.com/gblogs/popcult/2008/05/13/an-election-day-rant/ Just another Thegazz.com weblog Tue, 2 Dec 2008 01:45:38 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=wordpress-mu-1.0 by: PopCult » Blog Archive » West Virginia Day Post Two: The Coming Of 304 Blogs http://thegazz.com/gblogs/popcult/2008/05/13/an-election-day-rant/#comment-3684 Fri, 20 Jun 2008 13:34:24 +0000 http://thegazz.com/gblogs/popcult/2008/05/13/an-election-day-rant/#comment-3684 [...] Oncee told me about it on Symphony Sunday, but I wanted to wait to tell you guys about 304 Blogs on West Virginia Day.  It’s a one-stop-shopping site for all the top blogs in our loverly Mountain State. And in a stroke of sheer dumb luck, it’s sort of topical that I write about it today because West Virgina’s bloggers got some nice press attention this week (it would’ve been nice if some of us Gazzbloggers had been invited, especially those of us who have written about the way our state is perceived in the media, but at least some of us bloggers are getting some press). The fact that West Virginia has a vibrant, vital blogging community is a big step towards proving some of the more hackneyed stereotypes wrong.

It's all about who has the most money and who is most likely to win. No talk about issues. I wonder why we consider someone who has done nothing but read on TV their entire life an expert?(like Lou Dobbs, Chris Matthews ETC.)I say get a real job and find out what reality for working people is.

Like that phrase about "the way the media is ordering us to vote". Considering that there's a candidate for another state office who will probably win just because people have seen them on TV and another who'll get his famous friend to pimp him in November...'nuff said. ;) Oh, listen….I think I hear Chris Matthews’ head exploding!!

I agree the media coverage has been crap, but when it started, the media touted Hillary as the defacto nominee until people actually started voting; I've also heard radio interviews with voters who make me sad and seem to support the "unsophisticated backwards state" notion; it all depends on who you talk to and when. There's way too much attention/reporting paid to the latest poll, and not nearly enough reporting on the actual issues the candidates are addressing.
