I'm glad Clinton is being tested in early primaries. MSM is trying to make sure Obama isn't tested.

I'm glad Clinton is being tested in early primaries. MSM is trying to make sure Obama isn't tested.
The "Hillary is imploding" drumbeat by the MSM and Bill Kristol and Bill Bennett is of concern. Do Obama supporters want this race to continue long enough for Obama to be tested like Clinton is being tested? Just wondering since I've seen her obit written here about 600 times since IA where Obama failed to get 63% of voters and Clinton failed to get 70%.

2. I support and appreciate all the Dem candidates but
I think its sad commentary that residents of two small states can cause such a ruckus.

3. The media's irrational hatred of Hillary Clinton is a reason not to nominate her
It's above and beyond the fact that the M$M will give the GOP better coverage: they simply hate her.

6. Thing is, I think the hatred will be turned on Obama just like Kerry. Even fiercer.
I don't know if he will tolerate it as well as far as keeping voters since he'll be coming off a mythological level hype.

4. The M$M is doing what they've done for a long time.

Directing the news in a manner that fits their corporate ownership's interests best. They've been doing pretty well under Bush, and they don't want to see that change.

Hence, Edwards doesn't exist. (They are really afraid of an Edwards White House.)

Clinton is now falling apart into millions of tiny pieces.

Obama is IT! The Savior! The one who will set us all free!!! Until he's the Dem candidate, and the news reporting on him turns 100% negative, he's a Muslim, etc., and the GOP machine chews him up and shits him out - viola! meet your next (Republican) President: Mitt McHuckiani.

America has spoken! It's a mandate!! GO GOP!!! :puke:

8. Apparently you weren't paying attention when Obama had to overcome
The whole entire "Hillary is inevitable, why bother running" schtick that all the candidates, including Obama, had to face. Sorry, but the MSM was solidly in the Clinton corner before Iowa, and demonized and marginalized all the other candidates besides Hillary. If you've forgotten this, then I suggest that you do some digging in the archives here from a few weeks ago and you'll see what I mean.

Yes, the media is saying that Hillary is imploding, with good reason, she is. She got rocked back by her finish in Iowa and has been floudering about for the past week or so, rudderless, directionless, in short, imploding. One has simply to look at her channeling Rudi last week, or her tearing up incident, or her debate performance to see this. But hey, I'm sure those grapes are indeed sour.

9. The thing I have concluded about not asking him questions
they are afraid they will be branded racist. And in a way with the climate of this country, can you blame them. The first time they mention race, Al Sharpton and even tho I love him Jesse Jackson will jump all over them. I think those two lost their credibility when they started jumping in without checking first. They used to be very good advocates for taking on racists.

I do believe there are some questions they could ask and not involve race. But they are still afraid. Not so with Hillary she is peppered with things amounting to trash questions.
