Do the Republicans know what the media is doing to them?  There was
a clip on network television today, showing a prominent Texas Republican
rebutting Clinton on the surplus, and it was a disaster:  The camera
was pulled way back, with lots of background and the speaker occupying
the lower left part of the image.  There were two other people clustered
in back of the Texan, one of whom had a strange expression on his face
and was jerking back and forth while the Texan spoke.  If the media is
working on defeating the Republicans, it is doing a good job.

Do Republicans know how to set up a media event?  Do they know how to
demand camera angles from the media?  Do they know how to get everyone
but the main speaker into the foreground and keep assholes out of the
background so they don't distract?  If not, too bad for them.
