The Sunday news shows were kinda interesting, but not barnburning.

"Comment on Kentucky" was notable because besides the host, Ferrel Wellman, or however you spell his name, the panel was three females. I can't remember ever an all female panel. May very well have happened, but I don't remember seeing it in the time I have frequented the show.

I thought it was interesting that they basically said that Paul had stuck his foot in his mouth by aligning himself with some fair tax organization, which advocates a national sales tax replacing the income tax. With a dull pencil, some scratch paper, and an 8th grade education, some one should be able to figure out that this proposal favors the rich and would really hurt the lower income folks.

Then, after the mainstream media had confirmed that he actually had made the statement endorsing the national sales tax, he backed down. That has, in the last crucial weeks before the election, taken away one of his criticisms of Conway - that he had flip - flopped on cap and trade and the tax cuts. I also was a little surprised that the mainstream media didn't seem all that outraged at Conway's latest ad questioning Paul's religious affiliations. It will either end up being one of the most politically astute moves or a terrible blunder before it is all over, but if the mainstream media in Kentucky downplays it, he likely will get away with it. I still would like to see Conway answer the utility rate increase ads being run by Karl Rove.

"To The Contrary" had a special show taken up with host Bonnie Erbe hanging out and interviewing U.S. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. Pelosi could use to be a little happier, but she is an impressive woman, no matter how you slice and dice it. She comes off as sincere, caring, and respectful. Really opposite of the how the republicans are portraying her. She actually said she didn't hold that against anyone because in politics people have to do what they have to do and that didn't affect her personal relationships with folks.

The republican pundits have gone from being confident to the point of smug to now saying that the House is likely to go republican but not the senate. And, the smugness isn't as strong as it was a couple months ago. I think they are worried, and they should be.

On "Meet the Press" the "debate" between Buck and Bennett, the two U.S. senate candidates from Colorado, was interesting. According to the Gregory's presentation, Buck is up a bit in the polls, but not conclusively. Bennett came off very well, and won the debate in my opinion. I believe it will help him, and perhaps even give him the momentum to win the election. It's hard to believe that Colorado will elect Buck - and he made some pretty bad blunders in the debate, especially talking about "growing government," which he said will cure the economic problems. When reminded that he is the Tea Party candidate, "big government" being their number one action, he realized that he had said something wrong, and tried to get out of it. But I don't think it will work. He seemed too resolute as he was saying it.

I think Bennett will ultimately win that race. Bill Clinton is going to be in Colorado tomorrow to campaign for Bennett. That's going to get a lot of publicity, and with the news about the Meet the Press debate, will be a good several days for Bennett. He's on his way.
