1. It's almost like the-no it IS like
the MSM has been shoving the Clinton/Obama dynamic so long and hard that Edwards' name hardly ever gets mentioned in the same breath. Are we being set up by the 4th estate to nominate a democratic candidate that can't win? Sorry, but Obama is anAfrican-American in a still racially polarized country and Hillary Clinton 60% of the country really doesn't LIKE her. John Edwards is THE MOST ELECTABLE DEMOCRAT AND OUR BEST HOPE OF CAPTURING THE WHITE HOUSE IN NOVEMBER. Obama has a great message and is an exciting figure but the south won't vote for him, and Hillary has a lot of baggage with I'm sure more waiting in the wings from the RW smear machine. There are already rumors about a sex scandal with a woman in her camp. What do they havce on Edwards? Oh yea he payed $400 for a haircut and he was a trial lawyer...John Edwards can win this thing

2. Don't forget his mansion, which means he couldn't possibly really care about the poor.
I guess Obama gets his hair cut at Super cuts and lives in a 1200sq ft tract house? :eyes:

13. What concerns me
is that the media is doing this so that a fixed election the election results won't be too beyond belief.

3. The problem with MSM
Obama is a great cheerleader. The media loves to cover his pep rallies. But we've had 7 years of a cheerleader & look where that's gotten us.

The Clintons have made great headlines for 16 years now. Everything about them sells news - the good and the bad. But again, we've had 8 years of Clintons and look what that got us.

4. and what's with the democratic candidates
now doing what the Bushies did for 7 years now? I hate that using people as props thing behind the candidates at their speeches. It's so 2002...I've been seeing Hillary do it a lot and now Obama is doing the same thing. I don't know if Edwards is also doing it or not since we never see him at a rally live on MSNBC.

5. You know what? The media is AFRAID of Edwards! That's why he needs to be president.
Corporations are soiling their diapers when they think of Edwards. And you know what else? It won't make any difference. Look at the votes he got, even tho he's spent less money than either of the other two!!!! People aren't stupid.

7. EXACTLY! And modify all the trade agreements, and give power to unions.
If all that happened, I swear I'd be dancing in the streets.

16. Kicking, because no matter which candidate you support,
this is an issue of media gatekeeping and suppression of the democratic process--obviously a threat to democracy.
