4. What do you mean?
He'd die if he won a primary?

His heart seems healthy enough - the shock wouldn't kill him.

6. You have a typo in there. The part that says "Obama, Edwards..." should read "Obama, Clinton..."
I agree completely. And it's been like that since Day -1468 (since WAY before primary season got underway).

People think the GOP steals elections by tinkering w/ the ballot box, and they may. But the far easier way is what's going on now. The Republican Party fears Edwards as a candidate, maybe more than anyone. He is he one who would be the hardest to attack, and the one who is the most fearless in his attacks on them (of the top 3-5 running at least).

Whether it's a "conspiracy" or an "editorial decision", it's no secret that the big networks like Republican control. Years of war have been mighty good to GE et al. Haven't we already seen circulated memos to "Push Hillary", "Push Obama"? But even if they just think it's a "good story", it's still almost criminal the way they were the two anointed ones from LONG before Day One.

For the record, I think all of the candidates should have received more press from early on; perhaps by this point in the game the press should be narrowing it down to the top 2 or 3. But it hasn't been that way. It's been all Clinton-Obama since the beginning. They haven't been covering the race for the Democratic nomination. They've been covering Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.

When the major networks don't treat you as a major candidate, neither will most voters.
