None of our lower tier candidates are ever mentioned but the scum always find room for McCain in there.

Reminds me of when the PGA would add an extra line or two to the leader board to keep Tiger Woods name on it somewhere.

Anyone else notice this?

1. The media kept McCain alive--even when he was polling in fourth or less, they
always made sure to characterize him as a front-runner, a heavyweight. And I also noticed that the McCain "surge" began before his poll numbers went up noticeably. The media loves and props up their Straight Talk Express War Hero, even though he's an empty shell of a man.

2. They did the same with Romney. He always was under 10% nationally

but always gave him nonstop press. And then his poll numbers began to rise. Amazing, isn't it?
