Many times the question has been asked.

If Obama would have lost 12 straight contest in a row( including VT) would he still be relevant?

Absolutely not. It would've been over after the Patomac primaries.


So why you ask yourself is there a double standard in this regard.

The Mainstream press has a tough time letting the Clinton's go.
The story which sells the most papers, gets the most ratings, develops the most yahoo.com and google searches.

The Clintons.

It is absolutely amazing to me how this occurs but we forget one thing.
Ratings and sales are what truly matter in the "News world"

As
long as the Mainstream press can find a glimmer of hope for HRC to win
the nomination, they will try to milk that story for all its worth.

Is it fair?

Ofcourse not, but just look how Wolf Blitzer for example will cover an Obama win.

" What will Hillary do now that Obama has won the Chesapeake's primaries"?

Nothing about how Obama is doing. The story line begins with Clinton.

Watch out for it when you watch the news. (Well except for Olberman).

"HRC is down in the polls"
"HRC is crying"
"HRC WINS NH!!! OMG SHE'S BACK"
"HRC WINS NV (oh yeah, but Obama won the delegates)"
"WJC compares Obama to Jesse"
"HRC Loses the Patomac's what will she do now."
"HRC loses wisconsin, "her" core voters are shifting?"
"Oh poor HRC, "SNL- the media is being unfair to her... :( tear)"

"HRC IS BACK!!! WOO HOO!!!"


Give us a break MSNBC, CNN !
your news organizations, cover the news without making it or keeping it alive.

I apologize for this not being my regular writting format, but its emotion I'm trying to let out.

Today is March 5th. The day after Mark Penn's prediction of a Clinton abolishment of Obama's delegate lead. The week after the complaints of un-fair wide spread media conspiracy. The days after the kitchen sink leaving the Clinton Georgetown residence and making an appearance on the campaign trail.
Apparently that kitchen sink is golden. HRC  capture Ohio by 10,  Texas by 4, and  Rhode  Island  by  18.

You ask what has changed? The largest thing is that ever so shifty goal post shifting position like a chicken with out a head.

Amazing it is to see the worthiness of the media to cover a story without making over dramatic, or un substantive.  Is there really no value in measuring the race other than "momentum"? Is there really no value in measuring the the race other than head lines? Absolutely not.

I promise you I will not complain about the media, and this is not meant to chastise the press in any way, but it would be beneficial to not for get that Obama will still have a 150-162 lead in that which matters the most toward the nomination. DELEGATES!!!  

Let us however imagine a scenario in which the primaries are completed. Obama still has the delegate lead, however HRC has the momentum. Imagine a brokered convention in which the superdelagates are honored and they make the ever so wise choice of picking momentum over democracy. We already know Brazile will walk out but I assure you that will only be the beginning. Talk about shooting our selves in the foot.

Let's just remember the nineties as HRC so desperately wants us to do.

William J. Clinton is President. The Democratic party is in shambles. The Democratic governorship is non existent and the congressional caucus is a joke.

I would've never believed this would happen again, but it looks like it definitely will.
