CNN/John King officially adopts McCain "hockey mom" term

CNN hires-on with McCain campaign... officially adopts McCain "hockey moms" terminology ... and echoes their "Wal*Mart moms" usage.

---

Video of CNN's John King, while discussing target McCain voter demographics with Wolf Blitzer & sidekick (Gloria?)... "Another big constituency ... are what they're (McCain campaign) now calling 'hockey moms.' We used to call them 'the soccer moms'; we're calling them 'hockey moms' in this campaign because of Sarah Palin." So CNN is adopting the McCain camp terminology for the previously-labeled "soccer mom" demographic, and is jumping on-board with the new McCain camp "Wal*Mart mom" term. (To King's minimal credit, he at least qualified his use of "Wal*Mart moms" as McCain campaign terminology, and didn't, within this segment, internalize it into the official CNN lexicon.)

Given much of the political battle is about creating bonds between voters and a candidate, it comes across to me as the height of unprofessionalism for CNN to adopt McCain campaign terminology in their coverage, effectively doing mass media canvassing for McCain.

Good to see our media standing strong and holding fast to their objectivity.

VIVA SARAH!

Wow, what a gift to have Governor Sarah Palin along for the ride.

What a breath of fresh-air

What a way to help change the GOP

(I love how the angry dems such as "Mr Pogle" above want to claim exclusivity of "change" and "history" as Obama ONLY.)

Nice Try. They had thier chance, but instead they swift-boated Hillary.

Sarah is change; historic; but most imporantly, a keen choice and strong candidate.

PUMAS 4 PALIN/McCAIN 2008 !

SARAH: 1. Get OUT of my womb. 2. Stop shoving Creationism into our schools when we need SCIENCE to get our nation competitive. 3. Executive experience, of a town of 8000 and a state with a smaller population than Chicago?

4. You went to HOW many colleges in five years? SIX? 5. You threw two of your children under the wheels for your career. 6. WHEN did you get your first passport? 7. Your cruelty to animals is sickening. 8.Strident nasty speaker. 9.You appeal to lowest common demoninator bigots.
