It's the wealthy old white party...

...and how many rubes they can mislead via their media ownership....

...against the rest of us.

That's my two cents.

1. seems that way to me

The whole election seems like a battle between controlling the message to TV viewers (majority older generation) and internet users (majority younger generations.) It's less expensive (and more accessible to those not in power) to control the message on the internet than TV.

TV still winning I guess. Doesn't bode well for November.

2. Incumbents have such an advantage in American politics

Doesn't bode well for November if you are an R.

T-V is not the problem, the problem is MONEY buys T-V time. Blame the MONEY and not the media used. You can't BUY the Internet.

3. Exactly

you can't buy the internet.....(yet)....which is why I think liberal messaging is easier on the internet and in some cases a true grass roots type of messaging.

But you are right money buys TV time. And it's expensive! I do blame money. We really need to get money out of elections and put serious limits on lobbying.
