Woohoo Dan Abrams is nailing it!
Edited on Mon Jan-07-08 09:03 PM by spooky3
"Are the media calling it in the third inning of a nine inning game? Are they just bored with Clinton and enamored of Obama?"

7. Exactly, it's still one state lost,
and almost a negligible difference in delegates.

11. even if that were true, it doesn't change the validity of his
question or points that he or his guests are making.

5. Good for him!
There's only been one state vote so far. And the media is ready to pull the curtain on Hillary's campaign. That's all they've talked about all day, and NH hasn't even voted yet.

I'm an Edwards supporter, but this is wrong. Our media is a farce.

6. That's part of it, but they aren't sticking Hillary's foot in her mouth for her.
She made a couple statements today that should not have been said - she owns the ramifications of them completely.

25. No, because she said SHE is the only one who can take them on.
Please! I've heard that line before. :eyes:

8. He just made a really good point that I hadn't heard
apparently, the Clinton and Giuliani staffers have a reputation of being really rude to the media. (Likely not without cause).

The connection was being made that because the reporters don't like dealing with them, "all of a sudden" the media moves to Obama and the meme that Hillary is yesterday and Obama is tomorrow takes off.

20. I can't fault them though. It isn't unlike customer service
these staffers are the face of the campaign. If you went into Target to make a return and the person was rude to you, would you bend over backwards to give them more (attention) business?

19. I'm an Obama supporter, and even I am flabbergasted by the MSM's overreaction.
He did better than expected in Iowa. I'm bowled over and happy for him and the country. He didn't just eek out a win, he won decisively. Super. Obama has special gifts...yes. He is expected to win New Hampshire....yep. But the polls don't have him leading in N.H. by a landslide. I've seen different polls showing him ahead from 6 pts to 11 points or something like that. That's great.

But it's hardly over. He hasn't won. Clinton still could win. There is something special going on involving Obama...but come on, media people! Let's get a grip! There is still a ways to go.

If Hillary has the $$$ and can stay in until Super Tuesday, she could lose everything up until Super Tuesday, and still win the nomination. I can't see that that's likely. But it's possible.

I'm glad everyone's excited. He IS my candidate. But it's uncomfortable seeing this overreaction. The media, in their desperation for ratings, overdoes everything these days. God help us if Britney has another crisis...it'll then be Britney's life story 24/7 until the next event.

21. I hear ya. Believe me
I have not been on the rampage about JRE not being on the tube 24/7. I think low key at this point is an advantage to him in a way.

Of course, this is likely rooted in the fact that I would rather curl up and die in a hole than have this kind of attention pointed at me.

26. And when will they start discussing what the candidates think of the ISSUES?
I'm sick of horserace fluff myself.
