One Floor Down http://www.elmets.com daily 1 2011-02-19T01:14:14Z Doug makes Walt Gray's list of "Most Influential Local Media" http://www.elmets.com/blog/doug-makes-walt-grays-list-of-most-influential-local-media This morning on 96.9 The Eagle, Walt Gray announced his list of "Most Influential Local Media" - naming Doug Elmets as one of five local leaders. Elliot Troshinsky, General Manager of KCRA-TV, Cheryl Dell, Sacramento Bee Publisher, Marcos Breton, Sacramento Bee Columnist, and Jeff Von Kaenel, Publisher of Sacramento News & Review were among the influential mentions.  

Here is what Walt Gray had to say about Doug:

"KCRA-TV uses Elmets frequently as a commentator to dissect political situations and elections. All that while Elmets holds down his day job as a communications whiz AND being the advisor to area Indian Casinos. He's got his hands in a lot of pies. You could see him on TV one night defending something done at Thunder Valley Casino and the next morning appearing in the KCRA newsroom talking about Reaganomics or "why Iowa went heavy for Hillary." Are the lines blurred here? It's nice to be that glib and in demand. He's smart and has a great sense of humor."  - Walt Gray

President Ronald Reagan and British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. They respected each other; shared the same conservative ideology and worked together to end the Cold War. It was a unique bond - between a man and a woman who were also friends. Nancy Reagan today even called Thatcher her husband's political soul mate.

"The best thing Romney had going for himself during last night's debate was the Giants/Cardinal's game and Monday Night Football. Obama played like he was 2 points behind and Romney was effective in looking like an acceptable alternative. Ultimately the person who ran away with the debate was ... nobody. I don't think the candidates or the American people ever thought the debates would have so much influence in this presidential campaign. With two weeks left in the campaign, the attention will now shift to getting out the vote, particularly undecideds, in Ohio, Virginia, and Florida. And remember, no Republican has been elected president without
Ohio."
