8. Right...we could call it the Paris Hilton factor.
She will generate a lot of press, a lot of human interest news and they certainly want that, and they also benefit from a polarizing candidate on whom everybody has an opinion.

I think its certainly a CNN vs MSNBC thing. MSNBC does not want her to win, because they can't invest in her like CNN...That's why they did the hack job on her and Dennis...Its pretty well accepted that Dennis is a critical factor in her getting elected: If he weren't there, the support for the other lower tier candidates would fall away and there is a very good chance that a clear Hillary alternative would arise in either Obama Edwards or Biden, but the validity and popularity of Kucinich keeps the Hillary opposition spread very thin. (I love Dennis BTW, but that's how it is. )

FOX on the other hand seems fairly neutral with some Hillary bias...I don't think they are worried about making money bashing any of them, its not like they have ot rely on facts!
