The press created the Obama wave to start a narrative for what was essentially Hillary's coronation.

For the past two weeks, it has been busily resuscitating Hillary's campaign to keep the story alive. Prepare yourself for "the Comeback Girl" as the latest episode in this oh-so-interesting melodrama.

Then we've got Pennsylvania to look forward to. Oh what will happen?

Stay tuned. Details at ten....

CNN should get a check from OBAMA
so should FOX and MSNBC
they hate Hillary and will do anything to make her look bad
what Obama does not seem to get is
his goose will be cooked IF he is on the ticket for Nov
he will not pull if off
and he will loose the White House
his ego and his wife's ego
will fall like led balloons

The problem is the press has not forgotten how Hillary treated them when her husband was in office. Now Bill had no problem, but she was known to shun them. Not smart! Anyone knows you need the press on your side. Hmmmm......not S-M-A-R-T.

I doubt it, he would probably recieve the same amount of coverage that Huckabee is getting now, which is virtually none.

Is it fair that Hillary gets more press than Mike Huckabee?

Yes. She has proportionately way more delegates than him.

Right now, Obama is the fair haired kid. The media is easily swept away by hysteria and as quick to jump on a band wagon as they are to jump off and start shooting. His time will come, I'm sure.

About the only thing I have confidence in with the press is the obituaries.

They go with the flow, like all the media - Whatever sells to people - feed it to them.

Yes!...They will turn on anyone (in a heartbeat) if they sense that's what their readers feel.
