5. He speaks the truth, damn it all......
which is why he won't be hopping on the "You must attack Barack Obama now, cause I'm losing" Hillary sales pitch.

6. Cafferty is a Right-wing hack post in 3....2.....1
FWIW, I like him too. I don't think he's Captain Progressive or anything, but I admire that he's honest and speaks his mind. He reminds me a lot of your Midwestern-variety Independent.

9. Jack Cafferty: News media unfair to Clinton?

News media unfair to Clinton?
Posted: 06:51 PM ET


FROM CNN’s Jack Cafferty:

It seems like Hillary Clinton is not only running against Barack Obama these days, she’s also running against the news media.

Early on in last night’s debate, Clinton referenced a “Saturday Night Live” skit that showed reporters fawning over Obama and showering him with softball questions. She said, “Maybe we should ask Barack if he’s comfortable and needs another pillow.” Clinton also whined about getting asked the first question more often in the last several debates.

The Clinton campaign has been complaining recently – more so since she has fallen behind – that the news media is tougher on her than Obama. It’s a tactic as old as politics: things aren’t going well, blame the media.

In today’s column in The New York Times, Maureen Dowd questions Clinton’s line of attack against the media.

She writes: “Beating on the press is the lamest thing you can do. It is only because of the utter open-mindedness of the press that Hillary can lose 11 contests in a row and still be treated as a contender.”

She has a point. If Barack Obama had lost the last 11 races in a row since Super Tuesday, we wouldn’t even remember his name.
