19. And dragging out the Primaries has created huge interest and attention to Dems
that the Media wouldn't have given us if either Clinton or Obama had been declared the front-runner in February. More time for RW Swift Boating and the Hatchet Media to ignore anything but the RW Talking Points.

As much as folks here have drawn battle lines...I'm one of those that thinks it's great to have so much interest in ISSUES Dems differ from Repugs on...and to see us Dems fighting for the votes.

Americans are obsessed with sports and teams....and this is like an extended World Series or Playoffs. The Media has to cover it...even if they do it badly it gives us Dems publicity we wouldn't have had otherwise. I remember how little coverage Kerry got compared to Bush. And, when he got coverage it was all so negative. This is hard...but in the end we will be glad to see that it all played out so long.

thanks for your positive post.
