4. Absolutely. The corprat media has been harping on HillBama....
to the complete exclusion of all others.

THINK about WHO OWNS THE CORPRAT MEDIA and any mystery about why they're doing that is easily cleared up.

5. abandoned your revolting sexist thread in GD, have you?
And the corporate media just wants a horse race. As someone who doesn't have TV and doesn't tune in to the MSM, I feel quite capable of making up my own mind without your imprecations. Anyway, he doesn't have much of a chance. You should brace yourself for the likely disappointment. Then you can spout sll the talking points about how the corporatists took him down. Never mind that it won't be true.

6. John Edwards
is going to shock the MSM (not us-we already know) and win tomorrow in Iowa...Chris Matthews and MSNBC won't have anything to talk about her after South Carolina

7. You mean, this "reformer"?
in answering the question of whether to allow or disallow lower tier candidates to participate in the upcoming New Hampshire debate, yesterday, Edwards responded this way;

"I'm staying out of that. I don't get to set the rules for the debates. I'll let the people who are in charge of the debates set the rules. And I'll be there."

Why would he stand strong on other issues....considering he didn't while he had the chance during his tenure in the U.S. Halls of Power? :shrug:


PS. The media has done Edwards a great big favor. They did not vet him in 2003 and 2004 and they have not vetted him to date in this primary season....as all of the attention and vetting activity were restricted to Clinton and Obama. They have called Romney a flip/flopper and his numbers have dropped....and Romney has no greater a record in his change in views than has Edwards.

Good luck to your candidate and his 50 million dollar cap (of which over 1/2 has already been spent) if he wins the nomination, and then is finally vetted by the media in the way that only they can. :hi:

10. What HAS he reformed?
He "reformed" zilch while in the senate when he had the chance.

11. Too late
I'm increasingly of the opinion that despite her (many and well documented) faults, Hillary is going to coast to the nomination no matter what.
