How to handle a media windfall - A comparison of our candidates
Obama on Wright, regarding words that weren't even spoken by Obama - Address the nation with a speech that many consider to be the best of our generation.

Hillary on Bosnia snipers, words that she herself spoke - "It was a mistake!" "Lighten up guys"

You be the judge.

1. It's so difficult
Covering up for a bigoted rant with a well-prepared, tested speech, versus responding extemporaneously to a media "Gotcha!" in an interview arranged by conservative Republican Philadelphia Newspapers, Inc.

No, I won't be the judge. The media have already adjudged Hillary Clinton to be Public Enemy #1 and Barack Obama to be Jesus, Jr. My words have little weight in comparison.

History, however, will have the last word, and there may be a few surprises along the way.

--p!

4. Would this be the same media where Wolf Blitzer is giving Hillary all the say she wants?
As he's doing now?
