It's not that Obama isn't fighting back |
|
It's that the MSM is not covering Obama - it appears they only have eyes for McCain-Palin,
Even on Google News today, out of the 7 political stories on my page, 5 of them deal positively with McCain-Palin. The other two stories were negative Obama stories.
It seems the MSM, recognizing McCain=Palin are losers losing, they have decided to give the Repubs, as usual, their support.
So don't blame Obama - he is fighting, its the media that is not covering it.

1. That's right. My point from yesterday. Until DUers and other supporters |
|
realize this, we will be demoralized.
This guy, as well as Biden are taking it to them but the M$M simply refuses to show you this fight. Same thing happened with Kerry. PERIOD!

2. MSM ownership is devoutly right wing and doesn't want the Bush-cheney sugar train to end |
|
McSame-Palin - counting on the stupidity of the electorate.

6. And the silence of the electorate |

to the obvious one-sided nature of the MSM's coverage.

|

Do you have an answer yet??????

9. I don't think they did push Obama |
|
as coverage was, IMHO, very even between Obama and Clinton. And I don't think there is a correlation you can point to in the primaries that compares to what is happening now.

there are still a lot of Clinton supporters who are stuck in the cult of personality, stuck in their ego worship, and trapped by their now unreasonable disappointment (she lost, it is time to move forward). Instead of turning towards the true nature of our country, which is supposed to be about Democracy and our Constitution - not individual politicians - they keep their minds and hearts firmly devoted to what might have been. And this will be our undoing.
If Clinton supporters want to punish all of America, and the world, ultimately, for their candidate's defeat...well, they certainly have the power to do so.

the drum for the RW. I thought that was well known here at DU. So take your crap about "Clinton supporters" and shove it. It's not the Clinton supporters punishing Americans, it's the MEDIA.

15. Ummm...that's what I said in my post to begin with... |
|
And I didn't mean to offend. And I don't think I'm off-base on some Clinton supporters. PUMA lives, you know...

11. It's still about the GROUND GAME, folks. |
|
one by one by one by one by one by one by one...etc.
And right now, McCain-Palin doesn't have that ground game throughout the swing states in play.
