It seems the big networks are taking sides in a big way in this election.

Dana Milbank - Iowa's Show Goes On, Mostly Without Iowans - washingtonpost.com:
"The event was put together by CNN. The supporters in the crowd were mostly from out of state, sent here by the campaigns at the cable network's invitation to serve as a backdrop for the live shots.

And the whole thing was being broadcast by the CNN Election Express bus, parked outside Buzzard Billy's and carrying equipment worth more than $1 million: four-path HD satellite transmission, random access digital video server, LED studio lights, 12 high-definition TVs, a 42-inch plasma set, and, of course, an onboard shower and makeup table."
