CONTAINING LINKS TO 1280 STORIES FROM THE NETWORKS' NIGHTLY NEWSCASTS
     COMMENTS: First Dose of Saccharin, of Many

Barack Obama's promise to introduce a First Puppy to his White House inspired a light-hearted closer on ABC by John Berman (no link) speculating on whether a poodle or a terrier or a chihuahua or a pitbull--name it Lipstick--would fit the bill. CBS anchor Katie Couric also closed on with the prospect of the patter of children's feet in the Oval Office, waxing nostalgia about Camelot, the last time the First Family was so young. Couric offered free publicity to author Douglas Wead and his history All the Presidents' Children.

We should all brace ourselves for a deluge a saccharine First Family features between now and January 20th. It is inevitable that Malia and Sasha will become household words, this generation's Chelsea or Caroline or John Jr.
