The biggest loser of the night was the punditocracy |
|
Their forgone conclusions, inane commentary and idiotic polls were put to rest by actual people casting actual ballots and having the good sense to ignore their babble.
Hillary was not inevitable, people did not care about Obama's middle name, Edwards outperformed all expectations, and the manly scent of Aqua Velva was not enough to waft Fred Thompson to victory.
I am relieved that try as they might to create rather than reflect results, we do have the collective will to overpower them.
Good job everyone!

4. What ticked us off was the banner at the bottom of the |
|
CBS page 'announcing' Obama was beating Clinton - - d'oh, there was someone in second they TOTALLY overlooked!
So to CBS an email went out stating they again just proved the obvious they are biased and from now on, no more CBS in our house no matter what. Bob Scheiffer included.
So Edwards didn't win tonight - he didn't lose either. He did damn good against 2 candidates who out spent him by a mile. Again, we will end up with a bought and paid for candidate. Period. And that my fwends, is da truth and nuttin' but.
Added: I can support Obama, but I'd much rather see JRE. It is what it will be I guess.
Mainstream media whores will do whatever they can to not 'notice' him, other than what they have to under equal time rules.
PS - Can anyone see any repukes grinning (besides Chuckie Norris) about Hillary's place in Iowa?

5. KO disappointed me as well |
|
He too, only seemed to be reporting Clinton and Obama, even when Edwards had early leads in the first precincts in.
I'm glad you sent the email to CBS. I wonder if they actually think no one is noticing this BS?

6. The pundits that should be reamed |
|
Chris Matthews Andrea Mitchell Brian Williams Tim Russert
At the Democratic Convention delegates should have signs ridiculing them. I wish. But I suppose that would be a bad idea considering we need to win in November.
BUT, considering that they will be at the Convention the delegates could just make snide remarks to them while passing them. Or accidentally lock them out of specific gatherings for a short time.

7. Suits not getting good value added from pundits. Expect most to disappear along with Free TV |
|
Most everyone in America has already tuned them out.
