The only problem with this (none / 0) (#55)

Is what she said at the Cincinatti debate about the SNL skit and always getting the first question.  I am not saying either is right or wrong, but it does seem to me as if the pot is calling the kettle black.

Frankly, I think they both had a right to complain.

she also said, "but that's all right--I can take it."  And she didn't mention it at every subsequent stump speech.  And she didn't call Lorne Michaels to complain.

...I agree that the debate was rough and many of the questions were ridiculous. And a couple of digs at ABC might have been fine, but Obama whined about it all day long and used it to bash Hillary. When Hillary made the first question remark, she wasn't turning it against Obama. She didn't blame him for her media treatment.

Obama supporters can't tell the difference in stating a fact and whining.
Yes, Hillary said she gets the first questions. That's a fact.
But she doesn't whine and complain about the media coverage that has been slanted toward Obama from the gitgo.
If the media had performed a modicum of scrutiny of Obama - Wright, Ayers, Rezko, Obama lying about his father's connection to the Kennedys, etc., would have been exposed last year.

Yes, but which one can pull it off? (none / 0) (#59)

Obama can do it and his organization falls in line behind him.

If Hillary does it, then she'll get slammed with the "playing the victim" meme from.....well, let's just say from various groups.

Ah no we just put our ballot where our mouth is 10 (none / 0) (#73)

points she won by in Ohio 83 out of 88 Rube Archie Bunker counties if you recall.  Wallowing in victimhood is not our thing.
