Question about the media's narrative helping to drag this out.
I know its been decided by the MSM that keeping the democratic primary alive without much reason is good for ratings, but seriously wouldn't Obama vs. McCain be just as appetizing? You know the parties going after each other on substantive issues facing this country? Or has it been decided that that would be too boring?!? At this point i'd like to see ANYONE call McCain on his BS...for the love of (insert imaginary friend here) will someone just cover this guy's BS for just one second. I swear you could dig up so much more serious crap on McCain than flag pins and angry pastors.

2. Unless they figure out how to tap that
primal rage of his we all keep hearing about without being to over-reaching.

3. Not as long as they can keep the churn alive with the primaries -
They treat this the same way they treat the playoffs or the final four - it's dog food for them - they don't give a fuck what they spin, (sell) they just want to spin (sell)SOMETHING.

If it ain't political bloodletting it'll be Brittney's bald pudenda on the Sunset Strip.
