I just heard something almost jaw dropping
The nice lady on King5 News in Seattle just said that "Obama is TRYING to a MAINTAIN a delegate lead GOING INTO INDIANA AND NORTH CAROLINA". WTF???? This woman is supposed to be reporting the NEWS. Has the media completely gone insane? :banghead:

1. They are misleading on purpose
The male anchor just said the same thing. Someone wrote a script they are reading from. Brainless people. I am going to complain about it.

2. I think people are really confused
Call them up and complain. Tell them they have to repeat the correction at least 5 times to get it through people's heads that the first time was a real error, otherwise they'll just think it's political games.

3. They are not confused, they are bitter and evil to the core

and they will stop at anything.

These are dangerous times.

4. I also am nervous these days
I'm really not going to feel secure until Barack really, truly has this nomination signed, sealed, and delivered (and, if necessary, certain destructive members of the Democratic party can be wrapped in duct tape and sent to Elba or somewhere else far, far away).

7. I'm really worried about how things are going
The Clinton camp has seen how easily their lying and manipulating worked for them in PA. They are scurrying around like cockroaches behind the cabinets trying to see what kind of dirty tricks and lies they need to come up with to steal the nomination from Obama. He has to really come out strong fighting them back. The Clintons have so many buddies and connections and "you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours" favors to get paid back for favors given during his administration, they can really get a lot of people on their side. Plus, the MSM is on her side now, at least the ones I have heard talking about it since Pennsylvania. Does anybody else see it happening this way? If not, why? I really am worried-I so don't want Hillary to get the nom. I don't even think she is a real Dem anymore. And we need a real Dem in the White House, this year more than ever.

8. It's plain to me.
They are taking her side and not admitting that Obama's got the nomination sewed up. They might say "the math is in is favor" or something like that, but then emphasize what she's doing and spending more time on her chances than is really warranted. They want this to go on and on and on so are beating the dead horse.

I'm glad we have this forum where we can voice our worries without risking being seen as a "concern troll" in GDP. I'm trying to stay positive, but with eyes wide open. Obama knows too, I think, how he has to be many times as careful and many times as good to win over HRC in this uneven playing field. Because he's an "upstart" without so many connections, and because of the color of his skin, he's having to work three times as hard. Fortunately HRC is self-destructing in her effort to beat him. Poorly run campaign and very poor image control!

9. I hate it when they do this, but at the same time it kinda helps our cause ...
GOTV in a certain state is easier locally if people think it's a close race there. But when the cable news whackjobs say things like that about the national race, it's outright spin.

:hi:

10. They are doing rove stuff if you tell a lie
enough times people start to believe it, then keep telling it and it magically becomes true for you.

this is why i am starting to really go beyond dislike to hate. we have to stop this fast. dean, nancy and harry must be going nuts knowing what this is doing to the party when this is our year to beat by big numbers.

now alot of polls have it 50/50....shouldn't even be close.
