Whatever happened to “fair & balanced” coverage of the Democratic & Republican primaries??? I'm an African American, Princeton educated woman who STRONGLY endorses Hillary Clinton…And because I’m somewhat of a “political junkie”, I’d done my homework on each presidential candidate (both Republican & Democrat), so I’d decided to support Senator Clinton several months ago. However, it seems as though the “media’s” shameless, sleazy, “tabloid like" coverage of the Democratic and Republican primaries has had a PROFOUND impact on these Presidential primaries. Thankfully, I’m not the only person who has noticed that the “media’s” coverage of the Democratic Primary is SEVERELY skewed, and clearly favors Barak Obama. To that end, I invite my fellow Americans to “cruise” through the blogs on CNN. You’ll observe that many other American’s are genuinely disgusted by CNN’s RAPTUROUS FASCINATION with the “Obama Phenomenon”….Check it out for yourselves… MOREOVER, INSTEAD OF PROVIDNG AMERICANS WITH THE UNBIASED, CRITICAL INFORMATION THAT’S NEEDED TO MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS REGARDING EACH CANIDIATE’S QUALIFICATIONS FOR THE PRESIDENCY, CNN & MSNBC, et. al . ARE ACTUALLY “MANIPULATED” THE OUTCOME OF THESE PRIMARIES. Moe specifically, I’ve noticed a great deal of “Clinton bashing”, as well as a great deal of “Obama worship”… Needless to say, it’s genuinely disheartening to know that the “media” (i.e., CNN, MSNBC, et.al) can so easily manipulate those Americans that are either ill-informed or misinformed with distorted “60 SECOND SOUND BITES” and sensationalistic “YELLOW JOURNALISM”….

I want a strong leader who thinks on their feet, not speeches. Sittting in the Oval office typing speeches won't run the wheels of government. Look deeper newsmen, Obama can't be without fault. Why this campaign to build Obama up by the media. You are reporters. Report the news not twist it. Clinton is the strong leader I seek, and no Bill Clinton will not be neede to support her.

Much like picking the smug unlikable Kerry in 2004, Clinton the insincere, hustler with little real experience and Obama the smooth talking, empty suit with absolutely no real experience have very strong negatives. Put them on the same ticket and watch the dems go down in flames again. The best democrat running is John McCain. I expect a large crossover vote for him and another dem defeat. Silly liberals!!

I do not think there is bad blood between them and the issues of race baiting that were prevelant during the SC primary were, I believe, an isolated occurance. Having said that, I see both candidates as being too 'alpha' to accept a VP role comfortably. Additonally, the polls/election returns show that each candidate also enjoys wide spread support. This means that if Sen. Clinton or Obama were to take the VP slot, the ticket could be seen as having to much charge in the #2 spot, which begs the question; who are we really voting for? Finally, can a Clinton/Obama ticket, or vice versa, handle Former President Clinton? We know that he will act as an unofficial VP if Mrs. Clinton is elected. How would this be received by Sen. Obama if elected VP? On the reverse, what role would he play if his wife were VP? I believe as many of you do, that an Obama/Clinton - Clinton/Obama ticket would completely dominate any Republican ticket, but how do we make it work?

Clinton, not someone who is running without the knowledge and experience of working within the system. Think about it, the last time we tried that was Jimmy Carter, and to be honest, that didn't go so well for the Democratic party.....we ended up with 12 years of Republican rule, plus 8 more years on top of that because of the residual power that Bush swayed. This being said, Sen. Obama would, at this point, make a wonderful number two on the ticket and a great heir apparent for Clinton.

First question, how can you get experience if no one employs you? second question what does experience have to do with it, eg. Bush 2 term, Bill Clinton's 2 term, both were huge dissapointments. Third question when you get promoted to a new postion how do you know you are ready for the job? answer, you don't, point is you never know what you are ready for until you embrace the task. I'm down for Barack all the way,I mean what is the worst he can do? steal from another country and cause a fight, ooops Bush already did that.

Those who make the biggest issue out of spelling and grammar always seem to lack any real substance and don't inform much. Of course we can inform ourselves fro CNN, MSDNBC, Fox News...etc. We don't actually have to go to the National Archive. But it makes sense that someone who zeros in on spelling and grammar would want to attempt to appear uber-informed by name dropping the "national archive. Also, the word "how" is spelled H O W, not H O E. I also doubt that your use of the "Achilles Heel" phrase was appropriate. Give that an Achilles heel is defined as a fatal weakness in spite of overall strength, actually or potentially leading to downfall. So I'm not sure McCain could be that for the reason that you specified. It really is important to bring more to the table if you want to criticize the thread participants at large. Mike:

I love some of the comments being made, research not being done and the most heinous grammatical errors I have ever seen. Barack is spelled this way, Hillary is spelled this way and Bush is spelled this way. We love to fight over the do's and dont's of our leaders but we can't even spell their names. All of you need to read, do a little research and stop watching television. I love hoe "informed" decisions are being based on what CNN said today or what AOL said yesterday. If you really want to know what each candidate is about, Google the National Archives and look it up, it's all available under the "open records law" of our country. If anyone is concerned about the political spin of CNN, MSNBC or any of the countless others you need go no further than who owns those companies. Ted Turner for 1 has been a DNC supporter for 50 years. There was a post further back about Trent Lott taking over something or another. This is exactly what I'm talking about, any informed person would know he retired about 4 months ago. And the constant bickering back and forth over who has experience, give me a break. If you people were really concerned with experience, which is what Clinton's camp seems to be riding on, you would all currently be deciding between Richardson and Biden. Wake up people and smell the coffee. This election is going to go 1 of 2 ways. It's either going to be McCain against Obama and it's going to be a tight race or it's going to be McCain against Clinton and it's going to be a blowout. Let's look at the facts. Obama is a democrat's democrat, inexperienced yes but follows party lines. With Obama you get (nearly) all the democratic vote and a large majority of the Independent vote and can pull off this election. With Clinton you get the Right leaning Democratic vote but you lose the left Democratic vote, the crossover Republican vote and the majority of the Independent vote. There is not enough disparity in numbers between the Rep party and the Dem party to make that a winnable election for her. McCain is the achilles heel because he crosses party lines and will pick up some Dem votes (as seen in this thread) as well as the Independent vote and all of the Republican vote (in all seriousness his shallow conservative stance will not keep his party from electing him over her). Now you can disagree with me all day long but the facts are the facts. Man there is some hate going on in this thread.
