The MSM is doing EVERYTHING they can to influence the VP Choice
Edited on Wed Aug-20-08 08:29 AM by berni_mccoy
They are using rumors (yesterday it was Biden, Biden, Biden along with "sources say..."), it's also use of Polls conjoined with "If he had Hillary as V.P....".

All this is bullshit with bullshit analysis coming from the MSM. The bottom line is they don't know what the hell they are talking about and they are making everyone look foolish.

But the MSM will fail in their attempt to influence the choice.

The only person who really knows who is best for Obama is Obama.

When he choses his V.P., it will be a great choice for great reasons.

But don't expect the MSM to recognize that. They'll play the "shoulda-woulda-coulda" game and make it look like a bad choice. That is the ONE THING you can count on in the MSM-loved "Veepstakes". You can bet on it.

5. I agree
The media turned on Obama as he became more successful. They want McCain.

6. It's a predictable result of Obama playing it so close to the vest.
This guy is good at not tipping his hand. He knows that he is building interest. His timing is perfect. He's getting MSM dancing for the VP even while the Olympics are ongoing.

This weekend, he's going to blow the whole Clinton convention drama out of the water with the VP, and that will capture the Sunday news cycle.

8. CBS morning show had Ferraro commenting/handicapping this morning.
Like she knows anything. They have a board with all the possible veeps on it and at one point she moves some guy's picture (sorry, I forget who) who's name I NEVER recall being mentioned up to the top tier next to Biden because-- not that she's actually heard something-- she thinks he'd be a good choice. :rofl:
