5. The media wants a horse race like they had in 2008.. It was a huge money maker
to have Obama and Clinton in it for so long slugging it out, and then Obama vs McCain for the rest of the season.. especially when that train wreck Sarah was thrown onto our national radar. They just want the money that come with the ads. And its easier to cover or create a campaign than to actually cover the news of the nation and the world. If you don't get any info online from around the country and the world and only rely on CNN or if worse, Fox News, then you would be a highly uninformed American.
