McCain's Public Financing problem? Not a Problem as long as the Dems keep Fighting Each Other

[FrenchieCat]

Which may be why Fox, and Scaife, et al are being so nice to Hillary Clinton as of late. Obama is the frontrunner, so it's not gonna work to be nice to him. His lead is big enough, thank you!.....so indeed, they have to try and take him down to the 60% loss level in order to keep the race going beyond April. Do you know what would happen to McCain if he had to face Obama's fundraising prowess? It would be a massacre.

They have calculated smartly that the later the primaries are decided, the better for John McCain's public financing woes as he can't spend anymore money. If he doesn't have to spend anything to incur damage on his opponent, that's better for the Republican party....and makes them stronger, while we spend and spend away at each other.

no wonder they are encourage Dem in-fighting! Hence all of the Right Wing commentators being paraded on Television to "comment" on the Democratic Primaries. They are sitting there laughing at us, while we keep having to go to the bank. That's why the Wright controversy is being artificially kept at maximum level, and the speech on Race doesn't count. They don't want it to, and many in the Dem party are playing right along.

Plus the Dem in-fighting appears to be bringing voters over to their side.....and they are waiting with open arms, especially for 25% of the AA (and after the Richardson Judas remark) maybe 35% of the Hispanic voters.

The media loves it too, because our hard earned Dem money in getting into their coffers for big buy advertising so that Hillary and Obama can fight each other to the death.

We are being hosed, and may very well have been outsmarted or have outsmarted ourselves in many, many ways to date....enough so to cost us the election that should have been a GOP road kill. After 8 years of George Bush, we are now helping the Republicans destroy the Democratic party.

We are truly fucked!

2. I've noticed this too -

it's all about keeping the two Dems as close as possible. No programming excitement if Obama is up by 20 points.

I watched the coverage of the sniper thing w/Hillary the other day - wall to wall coverage, then the next day, nothing. And there WAS mention that she had lied more often than the one time "misspeak".

My question at the time was why were there no real Veterans on ANY of the networks talking about how this affected them.....about the resentment I feel, and others I have spoken to. There must be SOMEONE at the networks who could see this as a potentially great angle with the Veterans....

Then I realized that it's the same thing as the pastorgate "scandal" they keep dragging out whenever O gets too far up - They don't need the veterans at this moment to slow Hillary right now so they can save the 4 more times she misspoke and the Vets. -

I would bet that within a week, if Hillary bounces back there WILL be Veterans on the big network shows squawking about what it means for someone to steal their experience for personal gain.......

Edited for: I just realized I drug your original post way out here in left field....Sorry - Not a thread thief every day..... :hi:

Have you also noticed the decks stacked against Obama everytime they have the "panels"? Guess he so good, till it takes a lot to keep him down.
