media bias helps Hillary
The unvarnished media hated for the Clintons is actually helping them win. In New Hampshire the media was running a Clinton death watch right up until Hillary won and turned them all into fools. Then she went on to Nevada where the media again hammered her so hard it looked like there was no way she could win, up until she won.

Now the media is saying that she's not going to win South Carolina because most Democrats there are black and blacks are going to vote for Obama. Maybe she will lose there as expected but if she wins she will be an even bigger winner than she would have been if the media hadn't attacked her so viciously.

The media has been trying to defeat Hillary but this time the people are fighting back and telling the media that we are going to pick the next president, not them.

I agree, the media is going to hate Hillary right into the White House.

I can see the bumper sticker now:
Annoy the Media - vote for Hillary

1. I agree. Mostly because Obama believes his own PR now and thinks Clintons are hated

he based his strategy on this

He loses touch with the reality and makes bigger mistakes - counting on the MSM to coddle him forever.
Hillary won NH 100% as a reaction to media bashing. She might even get my vote in part for that reason.
He may or may not win SC - but it'll be bellow the high expectations touted for him even if he does.

2. That bumper sticker ...
I actually printed one, word for word identical.

But the adhesive is water-based; it froze and came off. A trip to Staples for heavy-duty plastic sticker material is in order.

5. It was just for me
It's too easy to print bumper stickers. Just don't use cheap adhesive paper. :)

I also did this during the impeachment scandal: "Don't mess with Bill!" It got me nearly run off the road, honked at, bird-flipped -- and a bunch of thumbs-ups.

--p!
Annoy the media - lie to a pollster.

6. I think that she's going to lose in SC
but not by as wide a margin as the media predicted. Either way, she's very well positioned for Feb. 5th. As for the media, it definitely helped her in NH. They were so vitriolic that it caused a backlash and she ended up winning when everybody thought that she would lose.
