What is the next pre-ordained plot development in the Dem race?

A few days before the November 16 (Nevada) debate the media will tip its hand as to what they have decided the next "development" in the Dem race will be. Most likely, it will be a stage-managed 'come-back' for Hillary, along the lines of the current stage-managed 'decline'...

Will the media chose a straight-up Clinton 'come-back' based on her 'impressive' performance in the Nov 16 debate, or will they pick a narrative involving 'trouble' for Obama, based on his 'uninspiring' performance in that upcoming debate?

Will Biden 'gain traction' and/or 'get a second look'? Will Edwards 'disappoint'?

What MSM/op-ed bellwethers do you use to guess what new voter attitudes have been decided on?

Completely orchestrated of course (by the media and Hillary that is, I am sure Obama won't like it).

It's just amazing....

I've noticed lately how much the networks use shock to get interest. On CNN alone, there was PLANET IN PERIL. You know what? I watched the whole f'ing thing and it didn't seem to me that the earth was in peril. Peril is a strong word. Then they had NOOSE - AN AMERICAN NIGHTMARE. It's like a marquee at the multiplex to get the teen audience in. Just give me that damn facts without the feigned outrage.

Politcal races are the same. I have no doubt they plan stories and headlines around ginning up interest in one candidate over another. It's like the "real world" of reality shows where the producers carefully edit to create storylines where none would otherwise exist.

after looking at our pathetic performances leading up to, during, and after the last debate. As we are about almost everything. So they're trying to get honest information anywhere else they can find it, including the internet and listening to pretty much anybody but us about what's going on.'


Well, OK, they're not honest or self-aware enough to make the truth the next storyline.

and Paul taking off in New Hampshire.

I am unsure of what the focus on the big 3 will be yet.

They would prefer to see a narrowing of the race to keep things interesting.

However, it will not be a narrowing that actually threatens Hillary's inevitability. She will stage a last minute neck-and-neck comeback (before the votes are even cast, of course).

Then, after the nomination has been decided, they will start beating up on her, and bringing out things that should be brought up now.

The media consensus drama-driven narrative is an incontrovertible feature in all national races... has been since at least 1980, and probably longer.

a reaction to events.

Ordained the week before, not years in advance

If she shades, qualifies, explains, or refuses to answer ANYthing, they'll be all over her.

But I think they will begin to push Biden up.
