Poll question: They call one Osama and they just accused another of having an affair.

Edited on Wed Oct-17-07 05:41 PM by rinsd

Does anyone on this planet believe that Edwards or Obama or any of the other Democrats running should they become the nominee will suddenly be treated with dignity and respect by the MSM?

2. The question is not whether they'll be attacked but rather

(A) the degree to which such attacks will stick and (B) how effectively they can fight back.

Edwards seems to be a magnet for these stories because he doesn't think things through. Running a populist campaign but building a giant house and working for a hedge fund? Expensing $400 haircuts?

3. Nope. That's why it's critical to nominate someone

who can handle it.

Clinton can.
Edwards has shown some ability (the great ad after the haircut stories aired) and I dont know about the abilities of the others yet.

They all still have time to work on it...

5. Obama has done well so far.

They killed that madrassa story and punished FoxNews for pimping it. He also hit Rudy back on his lame ass Chavez comments.

8. I had thought CNN did the madrassa debunking...

It's been dead-ish long enough that I guess don't remember the details.
I think it's critical for everyone to stay on top of these attacks.
