PR 101: the Clintons have to say outrageous, "bombastic" rhetoric on the hour for press coverage.
Most MSM realize the GE is beginning and McCain and Obama are firing away at each other and in the GE mode.
Many of the outlets are beginning to shift their coverage, rightly so, to the GE battle heating up.

How to get news bites on TV?
SCREAM outlandish, controversial statements, threaten everybody not in your camp, kick and scream at your rallies in front of cameras.

Whew..it worked here today.

Today should have been a day of celebration on DU (I celebrated anyway).
Obama will be the "official" nominee by this time next month.

And Hillary will keep getting the "ambulance chaser" press as her stage antics get more and more absurd.

1. THANK YOU! I thought that myself today. The sorry wretch can't afford to buy time and the media
is starting to shut her out.

Of COURSE she's being an inflammatory asshole. And DU'ers ARE HELPING HER.

2. I notice that on the CNN front page...
...there are about 15 top stories. Clinton isn't the topic of ANY of them.

That made me smile.

4. It was disgusting yesterday.
Ferraro and others whining about how hillary was treated. In my opinion, she has been treated like a candidate, no better, no worse. Ferraro was out saying "We women don't want to be treated like that..."

8. Your description of the Clintons describes OBAMAS SUPPORTERS perfectly
Particularily those in the Media AKA Olberman and Rhodes. And DEFINATELY those on this board.

Obama supporters have only succeeded in DRIVING Hillary supporters AWAY from him with their obsessive, rabid abuse, thus SUSTAINING Hillary's support.
