from politico on cbs website: 7 Worrisome Signs For Obama

[spanone]

pure drivel = statistical dead heat :rofl:

why would a 'respected' news website print such horseshit? it's almost as if they don't want obama to win......oh

check the hillary story according to people who have spoken with her.

A few weeks back, Time magazine was musing that John McCain was in danger of sliding from “a long shot” to a “no-shot.” Around the same time, a hard-nosed former Hillary Clinton insider declared the race “effectively over” thanks to the McCain campaign’s ineptitude, the tanking U.S. economy and Barack Obama’s advantages in cash, charisma and hope. And Obama, up by three to six points nationally, was about to leverage a much-anticipated trip to Iraq, Afghanistan and Europe into a pre-convention poll surge.

Instead, his supporters are now suffering a pre-Denver panic attack, watching as John McCain draws incrementally closer in state and national polls - with Rasmussen’s most recent daily national tracker showing a statistical dead heat.

Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton has been privately enumerating her doubts about Obama to supporters, according to people who have spoken with her. Clinton’s pollster Mark Penn recently unveiled a PowerPoint presentation red-flagging Obama’s lukewarm leads among white female voters and Hispanics - while predicting a five-point swing could turn a presumed Obama win into a McCain landslide.

1. Politico is a sock puppet for corporate media...

Never forget that.

[spanone]

3. i know that...why the fuck are they on a cbs webpage?????

[Warpy]

10. Because CBS wants to be a kinder, gentler Pox News

which is why they hired a lightweight like Couric after they did the hatchet job on Rather.

2. Obama's lead...

among women and Hispanics ARE NOT luke warm.

Sheesh, can all these people do is lie?

[spanone]

4. that's 'white' women

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

This has been another episode of Simple Answers to Simple Questions.

6. Don't whineabout the OBVIOUS. Support Obama!

We cannot 'change' corporate media. What we can do is stay POSITIVE about Obama and use the strong points we know to influence people around us.

We shouldn't be pushy. But our candidate is better.

[spanone]

7. pointing out the media's unbalanced coverage is not whining.

[Mimosa]

8. Sorry, Spanone, We need to 'discuss' with family and friends

Spanone, I was trying to say we cannot even hope for the media to be fair. What we can do is 'go around' them.

[zeemike]

9. What they are really trying to do is convince us

That a republican could win the WH in 08.

Then we will think it is our fault that Obama lost...we just did not do enough...and accept the theft of another election and get all fired up for 2012.

And you might as well accept it because when it happens no media will cover it, and we will be left screaming on the internet about it for another 4 years

Now is that cynical or what?
