If they talk about it enough, maybe it'll go away

Barack Obama should be a has-been by 2008 if all goes well for the republiCons.

IIRC, Hillary's non-candidacy has been talked about ad nauseum for about five to six years. Now, you can't pick up a magazine, turn on a garbage right wing show or read here without some discussion about Barack Obama. Of course, by the time an actual election materializes, this incessant discussion will cause Barack to be nothing more than a scorned relic--that thing that republiCons like to call "old news." Hillary already wears that label--she is old news before she becomes news. Even the majority here have drunk the media's Hillary koolaid. Barack is not so much stealing her thunder as he is following in her fated footsteps by allowing himself to be overexposed.

Name one hot republiCON candidate that has been bandied about in the same way as Obama or Hillary. Doesn't the absence of a right wing "contender" tell you something? It tells me that the right wing candidate(s) are being sequestered and groomed, focused grouped and prepped behind the scenes while the hopefuls/strong contenders from our side are basically being overexposed in advance by the right wing controlled media.

1. The candidates I like most have been exposed a lot to me though.

like Clark and Dean, I love them a lot because I've seen them on TV fighting for what I believe in.

2. Hot Repiglicons include Mitt the Shitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, and ad nauseum, McCain

Now Brownback is newly in the mix, so we'll get to laugh at him.

The contest was set up by the media to be Clinton V. McCain, all these other players are ruining the story line, as far as the media are concerned.
