It didn’t take long for the media outcries of “foul” following last night’s debate. Keith Olbermann started spinning less than a minute after the debate ended. The outrage continues this morning with op-eds, cable talk show opinion, and radio hosts scrambling to defend their messiah. I like Barack Obama, but the media should be ashamed of themselves for their blatant partisanship following the debate on ABC.

If I didn’t know any better I would have thought Charles Gibson or George Stephanopoulos accused Barack Obama of being a child molester. The anger from all facets of the media regarding the questions asked of Barack Obama is embarrassing. Instead of focusing on the actual debate and the substantive answers from both candidates, the focus has been placed on ABC and the moderators.

My boy Keith looked like he was going to start ripping off his suit and pulling a Hulk Hogan last night. What was Keith’s main topic of conversation on MSNBC in his “post-debate coverage?” Keith was outraged that George Stephanopoulos would ask a question that was given to him by Sean Hannity and “another right-wing radio talk show host in New York.” Chris Matthews continued his sitcom analogy this morning when characterizing the race. Greg Mitchell described the debate as shameless. Josh Marshall called the debate…gasp, “an unmitigated travesty!” How pathetic all the way around.

The reaction this morning tells you all that you need to know about the bias towards Obama by the media. The media loves this guy. How dare anyone question him about Jeremiah Wright? How dare anyone question him about William Ayers? How dare anyone question him about his bitterness comment? How dare anyone question his patriotism? It is a good thing someone did because lord knows the media has given him a leather chair and a free ride on any controversial issues.

I think last night’s debate won Pennsylvania for Hillary Clinton hands down. The state has been more or less up for grabs as Hillary’s poll numbers continue to dwindle. Most of small-town Pennsylvania doesn’t watch cable news or may even get cable. Most of the smaller, blue collar towns get their news from the big three networks. This is the first time most of them have probably heard about Obama’s most controversial issues. I imagine those that gave him a pass on Jeremiah Wright are second-guessing themselves after hearing about William Ayers. These undecided voters likely made their minds up after hearing this news. These people are Hillary’s base of voters. Hillary won Pennsylvania by double digits after last night’s debate.

Was the debate the biggest piece of tabloid television that most critics have called it? I really don’t think so. I think that America has every right to get to know their candidates. Don’t get upset at the question, be upset at the answer. Obama looked terrible last night. Instead of addressing the questions, Obama deflected everything from the William Ayers question to the Jeremiah Wright question. I can’t stand a politician from either side of the fence that deflects a question. To me, that is gutless and a cheap way out.

So now what? This morning, Morning Joe took a poll among its viewers who thought Obama won the debate by over 70%. Now anyone with an objective eye will tell you that he lost the debate last night. The people that supported him before the debate will use this as a rallying cry just as the media are doing. People that are undecided probably wouldn’t be undecided if they were watching cable news regularly in the first place. Those are now Hillary’s voters.

Be careful what you wish for. You Obama supporters that are willing to look past all of the obvious holes in your candidate are going to be in for a rude awakening in November. If you thought those Swift Boat ads were bad, you haven’t seen anything yet. I don’t blame you for not knowing your candidate. Don’t worry. You will hear it all from John McCain’s friends in just a few months. All of it!
