It shouldn't be hard to figure out why Hillary gets so much press coverage
While the excuse de jour around here is that mainstream media wants her to be our candidate, the reality is that Hillary is simply saying the kinds of things that command attention.

The reason Hillary gets the coverage that she does is because she's one of the only high-profile Democrats, along with perhaps Dean and occasionally Clark, who has the guts to blast Bush, the Republicans, or the right wing operatives when she's doing a TV interview or when she's standing in front of a microphone giving a speech in real time. The lady knows how to make the best of her time when people are watching. She bites and claws.

The rest of our "brave" Democrats are gifted when it comes to "issuing press releases" or sending us tough-sounding emails that only fall on the ears of people who just happen to already agree with them, yet these same people rarely say anything to that effect when standing in front of a mike. That's why they don't get the same coverage Hillary does.

Just sayin. :smoke:
