1. You mean a prior restraint on the press? It will be tough.

2. The media's pretty gun-shy after 2000--I remember Wolfie Blitzer
tiptoeing around the results in '04 like they were a fire-breathing dragon.

3. Since it was Bush's first-cousin on FOX in 2000, it will be tough to duplicate that one!

4. I shouldn't kick this... it just seems like the War Profiteers at the MSM have ENOUGH damn influence
NO WAY they should be allowed to do the final call
