When will the pundits begin breaking for President Obama?

9. When the election is over. Horse races are great for ratings.

It certainly is more interesting for them. I am sure 1984 was boring.

Also, the punditry is becoming less and less important as more people simply turn to the internet. I would reckon that Gen Y gets the majority of it's news from the internet. Gen X (of which I am a part of) is not that far behind. Who watches the cable news shows? The over 55 crowd and in Faux's case, it is over 60 for their average viewer age. I watch MSNBC mostly but the majority of the time, it's the internet. CNN and Faux, like newspapers, are relying on an older demographic and not building tons of new viewers. Only MSNBC is getting younger viewers.
