Bullshit boetie.
The press sided with neither candidates, and anyone claiming Obama had a soft and easy time of it obviously hasn't noticed him having to defend his pastor - or the fact free allegations in the media surrounding his association with Rezko.
Meanwhile eight years of baggage from Clinton's time as first lady and any serious analysis of her years in the Senate have been totally waved off.
You guys like to talk about having the vetted candidate: Where has there been a real critical look at her Senate career? Online where people like me have picked apart certain bits of her legislation because we follow specialist news sources as well as the MSM. If you are a gamer, chances are you do not like Hillary Clinton for reasons that the average MSM news follower has never even heard of.
Hillary gets a free ride on being the "Experienced candidate" and the "bright candidate" amongst low information voters - well Kyl Lieberman didn't speak of a lot of her ability to learn from experience and her reasoning during the Hot Coffee debacle and its sequel in the Wii version of Hitman 2 (Where she thinks the Wiimote is going to train up a generation of killers) don't exactly fill me with confidence in her ability to think.
There has been a bit on how she has run her campaign, and the odd occasional bit of sensationalism whenever her claims on experience have met the slightest bit of examination. You can't expect the press to not cover her being caught out lying about being shot at - or one of the primary players in Irish peace process telling the world she lied about that one too.
She suffered a bit from conservative talking heads not liking her, how about when this race started and a certain figure well liked by Joan Walsh singing "Barrack the Magic Negro"?
How about certain conservatives outright campaigning for her? Ann Coulter endorsed Hillary Clinton and Rupert Murdoch raised funds for her.
And that's not even getting into how John Edwards beat her in the first race and yet it was still a race between Hillary and Obama.
You Hillary supporters like blaming everything except your candidate and how poorly run her campaign has been - maybe it is time that you stopped doing that and started thinking about where things really went wrong.
And proclaiming the caucuses undemocratic? Is there a bar to you getting off your fat ass and going to caucus? No - there is not. It might not be convenient to you but it isn't convenient for anybody else either.
The rules were set out before the race was run and you Hillary supporters don't like them because your candidate is losing under them. Proportional representation was great, right up until Hillary started losing.
Obama leads in states won, in the popular vote, in delegates, and in superdelegates according to ABC yet the rules must be changed to suit Hillary Clinton.
