Voters overwhelmingly believe that politicians will “break the rules to help people who give them a lot of money,” but most say there’s a bigger problem in politics today—media bias.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 55% believe media bias is more of a problem than big campaign contributions. Thirty-six percent (36%) disagree and think that campaign cash is a bigger problem.

An earlier survey found that 49% believe most reporters are trying to help Barack Obama win the election this year. Just 14% believe they’re trying to help McCain.

yeah and their sharing office space with the log cabin republicans

I know it's not as important as say actual experience in the Federal government but we can't all have 134 hours of experience in the Senate like Obama.

speaking on opening night?

Talk about making decisions before hearing the facts.....and McCain thought Obama making Iraq judgements without ever going there was bad!

that Hillary cares about parity unity and did not smear Obama on a personal level like he did to her and Bill. She wanted to discuss issues but the media was/is too in love with Obama.

Now Obama has to face actual criticism and his true face (or many faces) are showing.

We're also getting a taste of how unqualified he is along with his inability to think on his feet.

guess it doesn't matter what the people want as long as the democratic leadership gets what they want.

Thats ok, we already know what Obama's close spiritual adviser Rev. "God Damn America" Wright thinks about this country.

If your not sure theres about 20 years worth of his writings and speeches around.

if it could hurt your chances of getting elected.

ps there are numerous polls that show over 50% of voters wanted impeachment hearings concerning Bush's illegal wire taps

.....a free pass.

too bad her new show has to be a reality style series.

She is more talented than that.

is to manage the economy and foreign/domestic policy.

You want "moral" guidance, go to some phony church.

"I am convinced that honoring Senator Clinton's historic campaign in this way will help us celebrate this defining moment in our history and bring the party together in a strong united fashion"..... after spending months with Edwards smearing her, is unbelievable.

No wonder Obama and Edwards got along so well, they are both hypocrites.

LOL

Obama smeared the Clintons as racists and it worked for him.

some examples of it at work:

North Carolina, which holds its primary Tuesday, got an additional 24 delegates for moving its presidential nominating contest from April to May. Indiana, which also has its primary Tuesday, got six extra delegates for keeping its primary in May.

WASHINGTON — When Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill endorsed Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, she said she'd found a candidate who "gives us a reason to believe again."

Obama believed in her, too, donating $10,000 from his political action committee to McCaskill's 2006 campaign. She received nothing from the PAC of New York Sen. Hillary Clinton.

And when California Rep. Doris Matsui endorsed Clinton, she said the former first lady had been "a consistent champion and friend" of Asian Americans. Clinton's PAC had also befriended Matsui, giving $5,000 to her campaign. Matsui received nothing from Obama's PAC.

And if that's the case, it's good news for Obama. Since 2005, his PAC has donated $710,900 to superdelegates, more than three times as much as Clinton's PAC has. Her PAC distributed $236,100 to superdelegates during the three-year period.

The study found that the presidential candidate who gave more money to the superdelegates received their endorsements 82 percent of the time. That's based on a review of elected officials who are serving as superdelegates and who'd endorsed a candidate as of Feb. 25.

But I think my favorite is the rule that lets the last state to vote get and extra 2 delegates......I mean why not, it's not like this is a democracy or anything.

and what a surprise, blame Hillary is number 1.

Obama will lose because his only experience is 134 hours in the Senate, he smeared a fellow Democrat and bought caucus votes to get the nomination, and he does not have a solid position on ANY issue.

to "racist" in about half a second.

That's the fastest transformation since Edwards went from Obama's inner circle to social pariah.

The original quote:

Black author Toni Morrison in a New Yorker essay called Clinton "our first Black president. Blacker than any actual Black person who could ever be elected in our children's lifetime. Clinton displays almost every trope of Blackness: single-parent household, born poor, working-class, saxophone-playing, McDonald's-and-junk-food-loving boy from Arkansas."
