Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow are only on the air to make you think NBC/GE isn't in the tank for McCain/Palin

Tomorrow is the next debate between Barack Obama and John McCain. And if you're John McCain this morning, you're hardly even breaking a sweat. Because you know that the format is going to be one that's comfortable for you, and that your guy is going to be at the helm.

You know, sort like a groupie. Or maybe a publicist.
