Why are we letting the media rush us?
Geez, we've had the Iowa caucus and haven't even completed the first primary. Both of these are small states. I thought the debate was helpful in letting the candidates who were invited get more of their message across, but as someone posted, most voters aren't going to be watching that on a Saturday night. Most voters haven't even started paying attention to who is saying what yet.

So, I have no problem in letting the process play out. It seems as if the media have all along wanted this to be a two-person race (becuz it's just toooo diffy-cult otherwise), and maybe now they're tired of that and want the Dem to start taking on the Repub.) but I don't see why we can't wait and see who emerges the victor in our primaries, over the long haul.

2. Good question
A few months ago John McCain was dead man walking, no funds, etc. Now he appears to be surging
ahead. I'm so sick of the MSM. They live in a bubble which was proven by Charlie Gibson at the
debates last evening. They should report the news and keep their punditry to themselves because
they are not living in the same world as the average American.
