Is The Media Bias? Here is Evidence of Bias

I agree with you about the significance of the popular vote as I so indicated in the first post. However, the distribution of that vote is a major predictive factor of Electoral College ...

Less of a fantasy: President John Edwards.
Speaking of fantasies: also-ran John Edwards has just as good a chance as Bam or Hill of being the Dems' man at the August convention, and judging by current events, that's probably what he's gunning for. Want to know how? Check it out the post-North Carolina scenario on my blog.

When did McCain become so unbeatable?
This premise would be sound if McCain were really that insurmountable a Republican candidate. Does anyone really think that Democrats are going to suddenly vote for McCain instead of Obama simply because Hilary dug her heels in? Think about this. There's a young, charismatic, handsome, eloquent, intelligent, considerate candidate against a ...

Re: Are Hillary supporters soon to be called &amp;amp;amp;quot;cult followers
Not all Clinton supporters are cult followers. I'm a former Clinton supporter and I can see some of the reasons there are still so many behind her; especially the older women. Older women (for arguments sake say, over 60) fought so hard against discrimination that this would be the crowning achievement in a struggle against sexism. Younger women ...

Ticket
I could live with either joint ticket - I would much prefer a Clinton/Obama ticket if I had to have one or the other. I still find him to be more sizzle than steak - and at least she doesn't pretend to not be a politician, while he proves himself to be more of the ''same old same old'' every day (not that I am surprised). I hope Dean manages to ...
