1. The media's love affair with Barack Obama

This seems to be the new meme for the McCainiacs

[azmouse]

3. Yep. They don't want to face the fact that their candidate is a dud.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

6. Yup Yup Sorry McCain

The media has traded up and is now Obama's "base"

Of course your unpopularity can't possibly be blamed on your performance and campaign (not to mention your strategy of preventing access to Palin)

:sarcasm:

11. And the reruns continue......

We heard that excuse in the primaries too. I swear Mark Penn has got to be on the McCrazy payroll.

[Cha]

13. Bottom line.. You have to be deluded in the first

place to support mccain.:silly:

2. Steaming pant load poll.

[azmouse]

4. This one is really bad... even for this newspaper it's shameless.

[BanzaiBonnie]

5. Oh for pity ever...

Of all the stupid things.

The media's love affair with Barack Obama! GIVE me a BREAK!

[Overseas]

7. Clever way to keep the poll Pro Republican

Provide four answers that work for Democrats who do the poll and just one for Republicans.

8. That's why we call it "The Repulsive."

even though the Arizona media supposedly hate Mc* after reporting on him for so many years.

[azmouse]

10. It's interesting that the local paper doesn't seem to be in any hurry to endorse McCain.

I'm sure they will before the election but they haven't done so yet.

[Catshrink]

12. Exactly.

They don't much like him. But, you're right -- they probably will endorse him rather than the winner. My God, Mc* looked like hell last night!

[unpossibles]

9. they really do think that

somehow the media constant harping on Obama is not hard enough.
