Look folks, I am an Edwards supporter and have already voted for him. I want a Democrat to win, and either one of them is fine with me. Honestly, take your pick, I don't care.

With that being said, I want every one of you to look at the big picture. We can't afford Bush III. We just can't.

There is a very disturbing pattern going on in our msm right now that is, in my opinion, associating Obama with terrists.

Few people really understand the power of the subconscious mind, but public relations people have long understood the power of it, and use it constantly to get you to buy their crap.

I know that most people, including myself, because of pride and arrogance, would laugh and say, "Hell, that sh!t don't effect me". But I think it does, and in the most insipid manner.

I think that 'if' Obama wins the nomination, he will have to gather up these msm "accidents", call them on it, go over their heads, and take it to the American people to show them what type of crap the msm is pulling here.

I am not an Obama supporter, I just really really dislike unfairness, whenever I see it.

But then again, I could be wrong and maybe the best thing to do is just ignore it, although I believe that is what Kerry did when the swift boaters first came out, and it cost him and our country dearly.

1. With that in mind, Obama is going to have to do a door to door campaign with...
as many Democratic volunteers as he can muster... As you clearly stated the MSM is going to be shutting him out for the most part and he will have to counter this...

3. I might just have to get involved, rather than just being pissed at the msm and going to DU posting.
I donate money and I vote, but when I see this kind of stuff going on; Well, it's just not enough.

Thanks for the proverbial kick in the ass. Sincerely, I mean that.

2. I agree
But I think he should take them on and call them out sooner rather than later.
I'm aware of two incidents (Tweety the other day with the pic of OBL while discussing Obama and then CNN last night with closed captioning).

Also, do you know if there a site that is tracking these "accidents"?

5. I avoid the msm with a passion any more because I was absolutly devestated during the last election
with Kerry. I saw it over and over again. The msm, doing the work of the Republicans, put Kerry through a meat grinder.

4. Obama might remain the darling of the media
he has thus far. The Obama-sham might get away without an extensive media attack like was perpetrated on Gore, for example.

I would hate for him to attract "high negatives" that some other candidate would be able to use against him another day.

6. Yes We will need to be involved.
He keeps telling people that. Hopefully people are listening.
