Doonesbury Straw Poll: Who Do You Blame For Extended Primary? Media, Hillary or Barack?
Go to the link to vote and get current results: http://www.doonesbury.com/media/strawpoll/strawpoll.tt

According to MSNBC's Chris Matthews, the Democratic primary race has already been decided in Obama's favor, and the media has "created the delusion" that Hillary Clinton actually has a chance to prevail.

Who do you blame for this extended power struggle?

A - The Media. Matthews is right: By focusing on the possible, the MSM has enabled the Clintonians to reframe their dismal prospects as a fighting chance. And those calls to wrap it up for the good of the party? Undemocratic!

B - Hillary. Who cares if the media is deluded -- it's Clinton's denial that's keeping her in the game. The only thing that will drive her out is hard, cold arithmetic, not probability.

C - Barack: The problem is, he should have put this thing away by now. All that money, and Mr. Yes-We-Can still can't? Maybe Hillary's right, and she is the stronger candidate.

4. I took Doonesbury's Straw Poll.
51% of Dems say it's hilary's fault. I voted for the media 'cause without them there would be no hilary.

She's delusional.
