He said this a couple of times.  Can the guy not even GET the basic DNC rule that there was a required number of ELECTED delegates to make it a sure thing?  Until the superdelegates stepped in there was NO sure thing.  

  NBC does it again.  Brokaw is at least vocally unhappy about the MSNBC slant, saying that NBC is more than Olbermann and Matthews.  I also heard him say that the Clinton supporters felt she was badly treated by the media and that in many ways she was.  That's a paraphrase but it was nice to hear him say it.  Of course Huffpo adherents said Brokaw was in the tank for Clinton.  No, he's just an old-fashioned journalist, but they are not 'for' that.  Anyone not for their candidate should be tossed off the air to read the forum notes there.

  Until the media stops beating up on Clinton of course someone of us will speak up against it.

He said it himself in a recent v. long magazine interview that whether at the dinner table or at parties, the subject numero uno are always the Clintons. The village people can't get enough of Bill and Hillary Clinton. The interviewer witnessed it himself when he was guest at the Matthewses.

do you really think that the Obama Campaign wants his race to be a major story?

While Obama doubtless pushes that angle for BET, he doesn't want American to be hear the words "African American Nominee" repeated endlessly, even if they are preceded by the wrod "first"

****
personally, I think that these conventions are so "programmed" that no one pays attention to anything that happens anymore.  Americans are now so cynical that Obama could start exhibiting signs of stigmatic bleeding and emit a warm golden glow, and Americans would be saying "geez, they did that better in Last Temptation of Christ".

what these conventions need is a reason to pay attention -- they need actual debate on the platform, for instance.  I was shocked and angered when I read how the leadership of a grassroots campaign to include HR 676 (medicare for all) in the platform not merely sold out for a minor change in the language of the platform, but congratulated itself for doing so.  

There is more than enough about Clinton-public-life that outshines anybody. Nobody cares about the presumptive First African-American nominee, and even though as much as the speech givers at the convention say it's historic, I don't think Americans see it as historic because they're too busy focusing on the civil war going between the supporters (fans) of the empty suit and the supporters (true Democrats) of the the woman who actually ran a historic campaign (unlike the other guy) and who was on everyone's hit-list simply for being a strong woman.

To say that it is the media alone who make it about Clinton all the time, however, is not entirely true. There are (as many polls indicate) many Clinton supporters who are p!ssed off and don't show any sign of trying to hide their displeasure. Case in point, the protestors. The media hasn't gotten over it, and neither has the entirety of the Clinton base. The Clintons themselves aren't out and about and twirling their evil mustaches and constantly working up schemes to make sure their names are mentioned twice as much as Obama's. They have enough a public life that they don't need to even try, regardless of whether they even want these things to happen. The media is still living on the controversy the Clinton's provided in the 90s and in the primaries, and some of Hillary's supporters are producing the exact same results as the media is, just in a different way.

"I guess I'm going to vote for Obama, but Hillary was much more qualified and treated unfairly. They were labeled as racists and Hillary was treated horribly by the sexist media, with no help from her opponent. I don't understand why I should even vote for the guy after he ruined Hillary's historic run with his rabid anonymous bloggers and his hate-filled misogynistic men supporters. You know what, I'm just not going to vote for him because Hillary really was the more qualified candidate and he didn't even choose her as his running mate. I mean, seriously, she brings so much life experience to the table, even McCain brings a lot of life experience, and all he brings is a speech. What am I going to tell my daughters if a non-qualified black guy was selected over an over-qualified woman, in the face of the long history of the unfair treatment of women? Should I just let the DNC get away with that?! Obama makes so many mistakes, we'd have this election in the bag if people would open their eyes, stop the hate, and vote for Hillary. I'd be better off writing in her name, or even suffering under four years of McCain, because all that means is that Hillary will have her chance again in 2012 to be able to say 'I told you so' and take her rightful place as the nominee and president, which was stolen from her."

What part of that was about Obama's historic position as the First Historic African-American presumptive nominee?

It describes one scene in which the assignment editor watches a split tic tac toe screen of all the cable news channels. What the AJR reported noted was missing: newspapers. They get their story ideas by watching each other.

derivations of the second person pronoun appear more than 30 times.  in every single line of the song.

derivations of the first person pronoun appear 8 times.

or if it's about the person singing the song then what comes across the most is that the person singing the song is still very much obsessed with the daily minutia of someone else's existence.  

That is one funny line.  Oh maybe, they'll mention Ron Paul followed by alot of snickering.
