| Shake It Now, Hillary!
The 2008 campaign will be a test of the relative strength of these various differently-informed electorates. Of those who follow politics (Skurnick's first group) how many follow the "undernews" and how many merely watch Brian Williams? Of those who don't follow politics (Skurnick's second group) how many bone up in the end by madly googling the candidates, and how many just read the editorial endorsements in their local papers?

At the moment it looks as if Edwards has the most at stake in this great experiment, but others will have a stake soon enough. . Much of the anti-"amnesty" immigration movement has been consigned to the Undernews simply because the MSM consensus in favor of some kind of "comprehensive" legalization has been so strong.
Bank's Sentance says market ignoring inflation risks
In his first news agency interview since joining the MPC in October 2006, Sentance also said that while the fall in the pound increased upward pressure on prices, it could also help rebalance the economy. So far, the economy was slowing much as expected and a cooling had been necessary, he said. "We were looking for a slowdown and the question for us is not is the economy slowing and should we react to it, the question is: is the economy slowing in the right way that is appropriate to keep inflation on track," he said at his BoE office. Sentance has a reputation as something of a hawk, but he said he agreed with Governor Mervn King's assertion that current interest rates of 5.5 percent were bearing down on demand, suggesting he might back a February rate cut. But he suggested market expectations for as many as four quarter-point reductions over 2008 may be overdone.
