If the media were pushing Obama like they are McCain, it wouldn't even be close.

1. Exactly right. And some Dems will further the corpmedia spin instead of FIGHTING IT mightily.

3. Because some Dems are counting on 2012. It's the same thing that happened to Kerry and Gore.

I read a book about Hillary Clinton (can't remember the name of the book but it was not unfavorable to Clinton). It was reported that according to Hillary she and Bill had been approached to strike a deal with the Bush gang. They would let Bush Sr. win re-election and Bill would be given a free pass to election in 1996. The Clintons refused the deal and the Bush gang was furious. I don't know about you but based on the interactions between the Bush and Clinton gangs and what has transpired over the last couple of elections I would have to have a lobotomy not to think that a deal has been struck between the Clinton and Bush gangs.

4. They are also working the web big time. Even on Amazon, on the deals of the day page, they are
always posting anti-Obama tripe.

5. I think this is the exact reason that Gore didn't run
He knows how corrupt the corporate media has got and just didn't want to be a part of that crap anymore.
