The Media meme......
Not all but a majority of the Media must met somewhere during the weekend and decide the meme of the upcoming week. This week is has been "Hillary should drop out for the good of the party." Just look around online,read the headlines,read the papers,listen to the talk shows. There are variations on the theme but they pretty much follow;1.stop talklng about Rev. Wright,2.don't dare follow Sen. Obama on vacation because he is going to need to build back up some strength, but be sure to get as many of his supportersas possible on your shows or quoted in your pieces to play hardball while he is resting, 3. worry out loud about the damage that Hillary is doing to the party and how much the GOP hates her.
Yet,she stays very close in the polls,Sen.Obama's numbers are collasping with Indies,her supporters stay as strong as she is and people are tuning out of the overheated horse race coverage. Viewers know all the commenter's bias's because there has been no attempt to stay neutral so everyone considers the source and moves on.
Hillary is still very much in contention and should stay until the end. We will see, but as unfortunate as it may be Rev.Wright's opinions are not going away. The Republicans now have all they need to galvanize their base. Sen.Obama looks weaker as a leader as time passes and his themes seem more vague and less plausable as the economy starts to impact everyone except the top 3% of the country.
