3. They're trying to knock him off...
Edited on Fri Jun-01-07 09:18 PM by Bullet1987
Ultimately, corporate America wants Hillary Clinton as the nomination. I've said it before and I'll say it again, you know what you're getting with her as President. You know you won't have to worry about her being too Progressive, too reformist...she'll be a nice little manager-in-chief (no offense Clinton fans...but it's the truth). You don't know what you're getting with Edwards OR Obama. This is just Edwards' turn, they'll get around to Obama soon enough. Plus he leads in Iowa and it's possible he may take more states...

I'm also trying to tell people that if Gore enters this race, the media love affair for him will be over PRONTO!! They fear Gore more than anyone else running...I think he's gone a little more to the Left over the past 7 years and they fear that. Plus, you know the media always gets uber defensive when people start pointing out their BS ways.
