“Did populism win and America lose in Iowa?”


Well one thing is certain the biggest winner was.....


McCAIN!!!

:eyes::puke:

The traditional media, however, proclaimed McCain’s loss a triumph, as pundits quickly jumped in to herald McCain and his “fantastic” finish. ThinkProgress has compiled some lowlights from the media’s gushing television coverage:

MSNBC’s Mike Barnicle: “McCain’s stance on the war. They view it because of who he is and the eye contact during these town meetings. He’s the Babe Ruth of town meetings.”

Fox News’ Greta van Susteren: “I can’t think of anyone happier tonight than Sen. John McCain.”

Politico’s Mike Allen: “Tonight is a fantastic night for John McCain. … He’s one of the biggest winners of the night.”

Newsweek’s Jon Meacham: “To me, the great story about Sen. McCain is, when in doubt, give principle a try.”

Fox News’ Carl Cameron: “Inside Washington, he’s been a real maverick outsider.”

2. They really live in their own alternate reality don't they?
It's like some kind of mental disorder.

8. Well, they do inhabit it.
Whether one should call it living, or a life, is another question.

7. I believe and i could be dead wrong but in my gut, McCain will
be the GOP Candidate. I heard a report that the Establishment
GOP in NH have decided to embrace McCain. This is something
that has never happened before.
