Who else thinks the media is going to talk up a Hillary comeback tonight?
I see it big time. It's almost in their best interest, and just the tone of Tweety alone tonight, they are gonna play up this Obama doubt again.

Im so tired of them not confronting the Clinton people about the popular vote argument. It drives me insane.

NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD.

1. Nope. She will be embarrassed by the media.
Her win is superficial and all know it.

3. They are DESPERATE to keep this mess going ...
and I have to admit that Obama didn't help himself by giving
a pretty lackluster performance tonight from Missouri. They're
going to talk up her speech and what a great candidate she's
been lately ...

DO NOT SUCCUMB TO THE SPIN!!!!

5. It IS in their interest...
With the money the candidates spend on advertising (!!!!), don't you think that the mcMedia has a stake in keeping the division and conflict of this insanity going for their bottom lines sake?

6. I don't think so.
The media have been HIGHLY susceptible to "expectations" arguments. Clinton is expected to win by a massive margin, and the media see it as a racial thing more than anything, so I don't see a big deal about it, especially with the flocking of superdelegates to Obama. It's a footnote to a lengthy race, but it changes nothing.

8. The media has beat her more than any candidate I've ever seen ...
No matter what she says or her husband says, these potato heads like Chris Matthews, Tim Russert, Nora O'Donnell, etc., just spin the MSNBC view. This has been vile, and I've had it. I would vote for an African-American candidate with credentials. This one doesn't have any. He repeats what he hears from leading Dems with no new "change" ideas of his own. Some Obama supporter convince me that he has some new initiatives.

9. The Clintons have earned what they get. Can't act like an asshat and then...
expect the media not to comment on it.

10. "Well now. This puts her SQUARELY back in the horserace."
"But, if you just take a look at the numb-"

"Nobody can argue now that this isn't going all the way to Denver!"

"But the math doesn't support tha-"

"This changes EVERYTHING."

"No, it doesn-"

"He MUST offer her the VP slot now. We're all agreed?"

"Sigh...."

12. No way, the Clintons have fired their bolt, every pundit I've seen this week has said it.
I've heard most of them referring to Obama as the presumptive nominee, they won't backtrack now.

15. That ship has sailed.. & she's standing on the dock as they wave bye-bye
with all her baggage at her feet.

16. I somehow doubt it.
They've already decided that she is officially dead. It took 'em months to admit to Obama's lead, so I presume there'll be some lag on any amazing, magical results in her favor, too.

18. It will be news... absolutely...
The media is always looking for something new, and another new bandwagon on which to jump.
