27. the media has focused even before Iowa on Clinton and Obama because
Edited on Sat Jan-19-08 09:28 AM by book_worm
they have wanted a two-person race. Even when Edwards beat Clinton in Iowa they gave him scant attention going into NH and concentrated on the candidates they wanted. I'm not trying to say Clinton and Obama are corporate candidates what I'm saying is that the media likes the idea of the first AA vs. the first female candidate and Edwards being in the thick of it would have sullied that up.
