Where the hell is Obama today in cable TV news?
They have acted like he isn't even campaigning! Only very negative reports on the Canada story and the Rezco story -- no coverage of Obama defending himself or anything. No coverage of his campaigning today. Where is he speaking? Everything is Hillary, Hillary, Hillary!!! It's like Obama has fell off the face of the earth!

Look at this page on CNN --
http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/
Shows a sad pic of Obama related to the Canada story.
Then across top has links
"Hot Topics" "Election Center 2008"; "The Political Ticker"; "Hillary Clinton"; "John McCain' -- then "more topics" NO LINK FOR OBAMA???

MSNBC.com -- I don't evem see Obama's name on their homepage.

even (sigh) FoxNews -- http://elections.foxnews.com/ has a pic of Hillary. Nothing on Obama!

Where is Obama!!!???

Is anybody else noticing this abrupt collective "sabatage" of Obama today!

13. Looks like the Viagra wore off.
They won't be able to get a new script until April. Their HMO has a limit on refills. By April...the honeymoon love fest will of gone completely limp.

5. Williams interviewed Rice earlier today. That's been the only
official from Obamas Camp, that I've seen today. Durbin was on too w/ Nora.

9. Ever since the first SNL skit portrayed the media as favoring Obama
every single Today show has been a commercial for Hillary.

I only watch the first fifteen minutes of that drivel.

Tonight on All Things Consider they played Clinton for more than 2 minutes and merely said as an addendum, "Barack Obama campaigned in Texas."

Barack favoritism my ass.

The whining and the memos worked indeed.

17. Don't forget she was on 5 Sunday shows at once
The Clintons have always had media power. It's the most important thing the left has got to realize about them. They ALWAYS had the power to speak out against the war, the Bush lies, or any other thing that has gone on the last 8 years. The only thing they got on the teevee for was to support Bush or bash a Dem.

10. Coverage doesn't necessarily mirror momentum
Remember New Hampshire? All the pre-primary coverage was of Obama's "inevitability" and how Clinton was toast. Just because no one is covering Obama specifically today doesn't mean his volunteers ON THE GROUND aren't out ringing doorbells and making calls. The cable news only reflects what people in D.C. are doing/saying today, not what's happening thousands of miles away.

11. CNN = pro Hillary. FOX = pro Hillary for GOP reasons. MSNBC = all idiots 9 AM to 5 PM eastern.
MSNBC is unwatchable between Morning Joe and Hardball.

Contessa Brewer? I know pre teens with more sense and intelligence.

16. Hillary whined, the media complied
The Clintons, who have no media power, who couldn't get their face on the teevee to oppose the invasion - now miraculously have the power to turn the entire media against Obama.

18. She is Hillary "Clinton" the name is a franchise
How dare some new guy come a long with hope and fresh ideas and get all the attention. We can't forget throughout this thing that just for Hillary to even remotely stay close to Obama that she's had Bill out on every stop known to man. She's campaigning to audiences 1/3 the size of Obama's and crying to the press and anyone else who will listen every time she is interviewed.

For better or worse she's going to get coverage and it's been fair the entire time I think. She could be on all the news networks 24/7, every talk and entertainment show and it still wouldn't be enough for her militant supporters.

Don't let it get to you folks, just one more day to go.
