Is one, now many?

1. I think they were talking about the polls in upcoming states...
although, certainly, even looking at it that way "many" is something of a misnomer.

2. Yeah, I heard that, too. Will she correct what she said?
Perhaps we should complain to MSNBC?

3. MSNBC is rooting for Obama.
I think that is becoming increasingly clear.

8. Really? Because both Olbermann (until her scare tactics ala Bush) and Abrams sure
seemed to be rooting for Hillary!

10. Olberman is an MSNBC anomaly.
They keep him on as their token Democrat. Most of the MSNBC staff is rabidly anti-Hillary. This is well known among Democrats. Have you heard Lionel's (Air America) long litany of Tweety's crazy comments against Hillary? And then there's Joe Scarborough, :eyes:, among many other anti-Clinton MSNBC pundits. I haven't seen this much media bias, even at CNN. Color me disgusted with MSNBC right now.

11. Dan Abrams, who runs the joint, is not anti-Hillary. It's just Tweety, actually...
at least that's the way it looks to me. And I really do think he's anti-Hillary (well, anti-women in politics, in general). I used to not think so, but the evidence became overwhelming.

I haven't noticed anti-Hillary-ness in any of the others.

Note: A statement noting the uniqueness of the first viable Af. American presidential candidate is not anti-first-viable-woman candidate. It's hard not to mention Obama's oratory skills and his uniqueness. Hillary's been around a long time. Not too much new there to be in awe of. There's plenty to admire, of course. But it's like when there's a new kid in school....you notice the new kid more.

12. Nice try.

Abrams is rabidly anti-Hillary? Matthews isn't anti-Hillary, either. He just calls 'em like he sees 'em. He used to call her the clear winner of every debate except the one in Philly. And their frequent commentator Craig Crawford is so pro-Hillary it's disgusting.

4. LOL
Nah, the M$$$M has no agenda in this Election.

I would be afraid when they pimp any candidate. One might get the suspicion that the candidate getting an M$M endoresement is Corporate or something.

By logical extension, I would favor whomever the M$M is trying to marginalize.

Gee, I already do.....John Edwards, the only real Progressive and left leaning candidate.

5. I'm an Obama supporter, but Obama hasn't won anything until the voting has happened.
He was winning in New Hampshire too. I'm not falling for that crap again.

6. what States?
many of the Super Tuesday State Polls have Clinton with double digit leads. Perhaps they mean SC which would be less like "many" or more like "one"?

15. They're trying to influence voters.
It works a charm.

How many Edwards supporters have you seen talk about bailing cause his candidacy is so doomed?

*sigh*
