The Media has been in this game the entire time for themselves. The more divisive this campaign got, the more money they made. Why stop now?

remember their fucking "shrinking President" cover? i swear i wanted to get violent with them for that, and still want to. It really angers me how the media destroyed Hillary and the Clinton's reputations. They are the only reason Barack Obama got this nod. remember the feeling up Matthews leg? Or Jack Cafferty's daily pro Obama rants? Commentators like Roland Martin and Jammal Simmons hogging all the time on CNN? Tucker Carlson's Clinton hating? Keith Olbermann? The media handed it to him. They perpetuated the Clintons being racists story that they've hurt their standing, and finally may have achieved bringing the Clintons down. I dont' know why they hate them. I think the problem is that over the years, us Bill and Hillary Clinton supporters never bitched and moaned about the media and politics the way conservatives did. we didn't flood the switchboards the way conservatives and Bush supporters have done since Reagan during the Clinton years, we didn't write letters to the networks enough during the Clinton years, and there are barely any real Bill Clinton partisans with blogs like the Daily Kos. I mean I consider myself loyal, but many of us Clintonites are at fault. We didn't stand up for them the way conservatives bashed them and stood up for themselves over the years. This may have played a part in the media's continuing hate of them for so many years.

The media has been doing its very best to pick our nominee throughout this whole process.  This is merely a drop in the bucket.  It's the cherry on the sundae.

I have nothing against Barack Obama but I have a lot against the media.  This wasn't right.  And anyone who expects them to fact-check John McCain the same way they pored over Hillary's every comma is a fool.

For the most part, the media has been in the tank for Obama. Russert claimed the primary over the other day. I didn't realize the media has the right to do so. I wrote Russert and asked if he'd give us a heads-up in advance when it's over during the general election so I won't have to waste my time voting.

It was a ballsy move, no doubt. But can you deny their logic? How does Clinton win at this point?

This is not democracy. they are clearly trying to tell us who the nominee is.

Oh, c'mon now. The voters have already done that!:D

It is disgraceful.

It is what I've been complaining about since the beginning of the primaries.  The media is making the choice for president and Obama is in their "script" against McCain.

The MSM marginalized good candidates like Edwards and even Romney because it didn't fit in their "script" for the presidential election.

i think your mad because HRC supporters refuse to concede.

Or

maybe because we refuse to believe??

Obama has been damaging Clinton from the beginning.  It was covered up by the MSM that has had a love affair with Obama from the beginning.

Well, you know about "love affairs", they are really about lust.  The MSM LUSTS for Obama right now, but they really LOVE McCain.  All this warm, fuzzy reporting about Obama will go to pot when the MSM decide that they want McCain in office.  Republicans are far better media manipulators.

Then you will see the dismantling of the Democratic Party.  The Republicans will not go down without a fight.  Obama can't fight, he gets his surrogates to do it for him.  The Republicans are merely re-structuring.  They know they have a tough candidate to sell in McCain, but all they have to do is get the right people around him that makes the conservatives happy and all bets are off.

The Republicans will exploit the loopy left-wing fringe of the party (like in '72) and will push McCain to conservative Democrats and Independents (which Obama does VERY poorly in those groups).

And like Deval Patrick in Massachusetts, he will be a failure.

Sometimes, a society gets the government it deserves.

You've gotta be kidding! I think it's a very charming picture.

Don't hate on me (the messenger) but he looks like he's on a first date with the man of his dreams.

As a gay American, I know that look and that pose when I see it.

I think my fellow 'mo's know what I'm talking about.  I'm sure some women here recognize it too.  2008 might be the year of historic firsts for everyone in this country.  And it's about time!

Hillary was hardly bad at all during the Wright thing.  She said "he wouldn't have been my paster" and the day after Obama called the remarks "offensive," she responded to O'Reilley's question about Wright by saying exactly what Obama said: outrageous and offensive.

She made it clear she wasn't going to take his bait and she said nothing more about Wright.

Despite a few flubs, more by her husband than by her, Hillary has mostly been a class act.  So has Obama.  In this hypersensitive age, it's easy to forget what a real negative campaign looks like.  

whoa - hold the phone.  doing the right thing - LOL  are you kidding me?  

BO stood by in silence in the media destruction of HRC  by a national press corps rooted in misogyny and sexism.  his campaign's chilling acceptance of the gender bias stirred by the national media reminds many of Ronald Reagan's acceptance of the race-baiting southern strategy.

so i ask you - was he doing the right thing by not calling them out on it?  or rather, what does it say about him that he took advantage of it.?

You want to win the White House?
Back Hillary Clinton.

You want McCain?
Back Barack Obama.

The Popular Choice isnt' always the Right Choice.

Hillary '08- We can still make the Right Choice.

BUT OMG THAT PIC IS FREAKING AWESOME!

I would so back that ticket.
