Reply #29: Gezzz! Not a moment too soon-Guess they didn't pay attention to what the media did to John Edwards? [View All]

Edwards a progressive democratic candidate, with an excellent progressive platform was completely and purposely ignored by the media to ensure this on going - woman vs African-American circus for the Dem nomination and let the Dems beat up on each other and take it all the way to the convention which would only help the republicans.

The media and the republicans were quite aware that John Edwards would be the strongest Dem candidate and would easily defeat any republican candidate (as EVERY poll showed)....The media & republicans went to work....ignoring John Edwards and his ideas, and when the media or republicans ever did mention him...It was only to completely trash John Edwards.

Which made it near impossible for Edwards to raise the kind of money needed to compete, as the media's chosen two Dem glamor candidates were taking in tens of millions of dollars by being talked up, used and exploited by the media 24/7....They media (and republicans) got the two Dem candidates they wanted and they worked hard to get.

So now we have what we have - And the republican media manipulators couldn't be happier!
