The MSM annointed Hillary and the people are picking Obama!

[TheDonkey]

I remember a month ago when the MSM was already calling Hillary the Democratic nominee but NOW we are finally seeing Americans vote and this is a very close race with thousands voting against the person we were SUPPOSED to vote for.

Go Obama! YES WE CAN!

1. that is so true! And the people who could be drafted are having their say too!

60 year old women won't go fight in a Clinton war.

2. No, MSM has crowned Obama and clobbered Clinton again and again

The press has been giving Obama a leg up for months and attacking Clinton at every turn. I will be stunned if Obama does not win, with all the free publicity he gets from the media, not to mention Clinton defined as the devil herself.

3. They work the story to their benefit. First, the story was Clinton

now it's Obama. They want to sell ads.

These are from the first five months of the campaign. If anyone has a newer study post it. There is little reason to believe the tenor of reporting changed from that point until Iowa. Since then as the sniping has escalating the positive numbers for each candidate must have dropped, with the brief exception of the media orgasm for Obama after Iowa and McCain's favorable coverage since New Hampshire.
