The Media Has Nothing Else So They Have To Use Tonights Rally At Mile High.....
to criticize Obama with.

Taking the analogy of a glass being half empty or half full - the media is looking at tonights event and spinning it negatively.

Now why can't they point out all the positives?

Guess????

They don't want Obama to win this election. So anything - any little thing - they can use against him that perhaps might just steal one vote away from Obama is what they will do.

I have dear friends in the Denver Area. I called them last night to find out how they were coping through this week.

The only thing they focused on was the roll call vote - where Hillary broke in and declared Obama the nominee by acclamation. They thought that it was unfair to all those states that didn't get a chance to say: The Great State Of....... pledges all their votes for the next president.....

They blame Obama for that and thought is was terrible and that he didn't want all states to be heard from. They are going to vote for McCain - sad to say. But that's all it takes.

Yes - I did try and talk them out of it. I said why are you voting against yourself?

But they have their minds made up.

2. It's a no-win situation
If he delivers the best thing since the Gettysburg address, he's "an empty suit" who can only "give good speeches"

If he gives a good but not history-making speech, he's a "disappointment" who "didn't have focus" "didn't rally the troops", didn't explain to the American public why anyone should vote for him.

Meh.

Once again, i'm watching on PBS or webstream - to hell with the pundits.
