Sweeps Week

It's embarrasing to watch the 3 major networks steering the electorate into a tight race for ratings sake.

In a self-fulfilling prophesy, the House races became more and more competitive every time the media reported same. But they did too good a job and the Democrats started to turn up with a good lead in many races. Tonight, the 6:30 anchor crowd was apparently back-pedaling, apparently to increase election night audiences.

Hopefully, voters will not base their vote on manufactured trends, or by the opinions of other, but rather on the actual qualifications of the candidates.
