Will the MSM be talking about McCain's White Supremacist ties?

I recount McCain' questionable past on issues of race his entire career. From the many years he rejected a Martin Luther King Jr. holiday (pretty much the entire 70s and 80s) to his serial flip-flops on the Confederate Flag in 2000 (which he admits he did for political reasons -- no way, not you Johnny!) to his close association with a white supremacist named Richard Quinn, who found himself hired as a political advisor by McCain in 2000 (and still is from what I can tell) after openly praising David Duke (he called him a "maverick") selling t-shirts praising the assassination of Abraham Lincoln and writing/editing for a magazine (Southern Partisan) that reminded us that slave masters just really weren't all that bad.

If they don't report this with the same voracity as Wright then they are acting in concert to destroy the best candidacy in modern history.

2. Don't count on it. They won't even ask the question of what Hillary needs to do

to win over black working class/blue collar voters or independent and affluent voters that are voting for Obama; only what Obama needs to do to win over white working class/blue collar voters.

3. Good point

I haven't heard one pundit or punditor (new word lol) ask "What is it about Hillary that is driving away the educated American voter?" Maybe we should email the MSM en masse to ask that question.

I've emailed this question to several, still haven't heard it mentioned. Maybe a massive email would yield different results.
