Maybe Hillary can get a job at Fox News after this is over.

My take on Fox News is not that they get their facts wrong, but that they know the facts and deliberately ignore them in favor of scandal, shock, or anything that will get people's attention. Then the other news shows, to their shame, repeat what Fox said as if there were some merit in it.

It's hard to continue to be nice to the media people when they do that over and over, but politicians have to pretend to be nice or else they will really get slandered.

Earthling,
The racism thing is a media meme. There are a lot of people, many of them white people in KY and NC and PA and IN, who still don't know much about Obama but they've heard of Clinton, so for them it is still the name recognition. They hear terms like muslim and racism and don't bother to find out more because they don't care much. Yet. But if they did find out something about Obama, they would support him.
I don't think it is racism against Obama, only ignorance.

It may seem impossible to those of us so caught up in campaign news, but it is parallel to people not knowing a whole lot about what's going on in basketball, not reading everything they can about the players and the predictions, and who don't hate one team and love another. Basketball fans might be appalled at the choices and the ignorance, but it exists.

There is still time for people in those states to learn more about Obama and then many of those white people so easily written off as racists will vote for him. Plus basketball season might be over by then.
