at the moment, i think most polling is meaningless--i don't see any coherent need (beyond the demands of the 24/7 cable blah blah blah system) or way to project from mid june past august. so i don't think there is a "race" yet--this is a little hiatus.
i also find the article interesting, vaguely. but it'd be mostly a piece of theater, the change, the only possible function of which would be an Attention-Shift, moving the Giant Eye of television from one corridor to another. and as anyone could, you could see this as an act of desperation.
maybe late august would be a good time to check back in.
