It’s hard to be effective coming from behind. Candidates must avoid the perception they are simply experimenting with provocative messages to break through media fog–flailing or despair will be read as weakness. It’s tough to put aside your ideological preferences and coldly analyze a candidate’s efficacy, but it’s of inestimable use to a modern campaign. So let’s play Frank Luntz! Get out your imaginary focus group dials, let us coldly break down Bachmann’s new spot. How’s her body language? Her messaging? Do her plunging, nay, disintegrating poll numbers seem to inform her choices? In the battle for primary voters, every variable must be carefully weighed. See how you think she did and share your thoughts in the comments.

“NBC Nightly News” is the highest-rated daily news show in the morning or evening. In mid-August, this show had been ranked number one for 100 straight weeks, pulling an average of 7.7 million viewers. This makes Brian Williams the king of the TV-news hill.

If this hodgepodge of sorta, kinda official confirmation is to be believed, Windows Phone users can look forward to native voice command functionality built-in to the Apollo update. Nokia US’ CEO, Chris Weber , first spilled the speech-to-text beans in an interview with VentureBeat back in early August, referring to the tech as a killer WP feature. Now, a report over on ZDNet backs up that leaked info with resume tidbits from former MS Windows Phone / Mobile Communications team members that had a hand in creating the so-called “Voice-Compose” and “Read-Aloud” features — even tipping us off to a possible Windows 8 and WP 8 convergence. There’s also mention (gleaned from a company job listing) of MS’ lower-end mobile OS splitting into two separate versions — Tango1 and Tango2. We know what you’re thinking. It’s hard to get excited about far-off OS updates when we’re still waiting on Mango’s release. Still, it’s good to know Ballmer and co. aren’t just resting on their Windows laurels.
