52. Exactly. Remember what they did to Kerry on the $87 billion?
Kerry told the truth and he also explained his reasoning for voting differently on the two funding bills. Did the media EVER mention that? No. They savaged him for that. Let's also not forget what the "liberal media" did to Gore regarding his comment on the internet.

Jesse Jackson took the lead in the 1988 Democratic nomination battle. He even won substantial white support. However, once it became clear that he may actually win suddenly his white support plummeted. Why? Because he was perceived as a "black candidate." This matters, folks. :scared:

It would be a damn shame if Obama's candidacy was killed by the media like the Dean candidacy was.
