"You can see (Hillary) moving on winning this nomination now," Tweety
there we go. Three contests. One win by Obama (Iowa) and two wins (both by only 2-5 points) by Hillary and the media is calling the race. They will never learn!! Next week Obama will win South Carolina and probably by a handy margin and what will they say then? "Oh that was expected." I think it's pretty clear who the media wants as the Dem nominee and it's not Edwards or Obama.

There is a long way to go and I hope we keep confounding the media and whoever wins in the end will have certainly earned it.

8. We'll see on Super Tuesday.
But after three states it's much too early especially by the closeness of Nevada and New Hampshire. I will say whoever wins in California will have big bragging rights.

6. Well nobody can criticize her, it's sexist
Which is going to be the BIG backfire when she goes against Republicans because that is not remotely going to work.

11. Its the worst possible scenario for Hillary
1) She inherits the title front runner - any movment by Obama will be exaggerated and shown to have momentum. If she moves up it will be old moves. There will be a natural tendency in people in general but much greater in the media to keep a 2 person race going. Obama will get the benefit of being an underdog

2) It will be a two person race. Clintons love triangulation. Bill it will be remembered ran in 3 person races.

3) Now that it is a two person race when HRC and their surrogates go negative it will be perceived with a different tone in the African American Community.

4) When in front (remember pre Iowa it seems such a long time ago) there is arrogance in Clintonville which turns people off.

13. the only thing wrong with your analysis is that Matthews loathes Hillary
the last thing he would ever want to do is spin her chances positively, unless he was literally forced to by circumstance.

17. Matthews has said some very nice things about her lately
It's Morning Joe that can't stand her now.

They take turns so the ratings won't keep tanking.
