It was hers to lose, and she lost it
Edited on Mon Mar-10-08 09:48 AM by Scriptor Ignotus
don't you ever forget that. If she can't run a competent campaign, you can't argue that she would run a competent administration. On that note, if the press wasn't fair to her during the campaign, what makes you think they would suddenly become fair once she became President? I think DU is slowly coming to the realization that Obama is both competent AND media savvy. He is our best possible nominee and for the reasons he's bested Hillary, he will best McCain.

Check out the front page of Intrade. Look at how those stocks have changed places.

3. The press started out in her hip pocket too
If they are lost to her now, it was her & the arrogant people she has running the campaign that lost them too.

4. exactly
some people here don't understand the function of PR in a campaign. If the press likes you, it probably means your PR people are doing their job. If the press doesn't like you, well I think we know what that means too. It has little to do with journalists being lazy when vetting Obama.

7. I'm not counting her out
she's shown she will do whatever it takes to win, including tarnishing the likely party nominee.

P.S. Norman Hsu, Whitewater, Chinagate. People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

8. Hillary has her problems with Rezko, in fact she has just as many proven links.
