[edit] Midterm Midtacular

"Unlike the previous "Indecision" specials, presented only by The Daily Show"... Doesn't the Midterm Midtacular count as an Indecision 2006 special? I mention this because that show was a joint venture between TDS and TCR, which would make the previous statement incorrect. Shoemoney2night 06:15, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge notice

I'm new to the whole wiki thing so I'm not sure how this would work or what the best policy is, but it seems to me that - if the "Indecision 200x" stuff is going to be covered at all, which for an encyclopedia seems questionable - there should be one comprehensive article covering the changes over time and impact of the overall series. Such a condensed article could merit standing on its own feet, which is why I didn't resort to deletion. Halond 21:36, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

I think each article stands on its own because the media coverage is distinct and limited to an election cycle. Merging all of them into one article doesn't make much sense because of how much the coverage changed from iteration to iteration. --William Graham ^talk 22:16, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

I agree that a single article makes little sense, and as this is a current news item it wouldn't make sense to merge this one even if 2004, 2000, etc... were merged. Adam McCormick 01:20, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
