    Dancing on her grave since Iowa...

    Given that the corporate media has been hammering across the notion that Clinton is always about to withdraw from the race, it's astonishing that she's managed so far to evade the jaws of this relentless establishment bulldog we once knew as the free press. Where the article states that Clinton was "widely faulted for complaining about always getting the opening-gun tough question", it fails to identify that the faulters are the same pundits who have had a vendetta against her from the getgo. Both they and the journalists who relentlessly cheerlead for Obama - even during their interviews with Clinton - seem to be getting paid by commission. The more points Obama wins by in a primary, their news directors appear to have told them, the bigger their bonuses. Fortunately, many TV viewers, especially those watching the debates, are not fooled by the Big Brother propaganda, and are doing what they can to help her, hence the $35 million haul this month. One thing they can't stop, however, is the massover crossover voting drives of Republicans in the Democratic primaries being organized by Karl Rove's dirty tricks team and the Obama camp. Without those G.O.P. voters, his delegate lead would likely evaporate. For more on this, I've posted an article at thecityediton.com. Click on my screen name for a direct link.
