    Had you been willing to gather information anywhere else other than Fox News you might have been able to educate yourself more extensively.

    Be that as it may though...what exactly were the cornerstones of McCain's platform?

    -"I'm a maverick"

    -"I was a prisoner of war"

    -"Joe the plumber"

    -"I'm so proud of Sarah Palin"

    Did I miss any of the big ones?

    True, that.
    Then again, that's why we have an Army.

    I think if the choices were McCain and Bush, McCain would be in by a landslide.
    Gee.

    I thought I liked British humor.

    Here's one for you.

    You are ignoring the effect of your method of consumption.

    I watch Foxnews, BBC America, MSNBC, CNN, CNNHN, CNBC, and Bloomberg.

    Regularly.

    You catch all of your Foxnews watching Youtube videos.

    What else you may or may not watch is of little consequence, but, judging from the number of mentions The Daily Show gets, I could probably peg that, too.

    All that said, you've got a point - it's just that McCain has the street cred you complain Palin lacked, that Obama didn't need, and that Biden...well, then, there's Biden; nuff said.

    McCain obviously thought he didn't need it against your upstart.

    Just that simple.

    No, we get Fox, CNN, Bloomberg, Skynews, BBC, CNBC, EuroNews, Indian News (NDTV), Chinese News (CCTV9) - last three all English language - on Sky.

    Of course the time difference means that I don't see the later Fox shows (CNN is geared for Europe) so it is 10.00ish here by the time Cavuto is watching the Wall Street bell ring. I did see Annie on his show the other night though.

    We did have Al Jazeera for a while too
