Is that the lesson to be learned from the debate last week?

Sure. I am an avid GMA fan, I like the two anchors well enough, weather guy is OK, the substace behind their efforts is usually good. But what they did to Obama last week, and Diane Sawyer’s terrible snipping and cliping of material Obama says to paint Clinton in a better light has damn near made me stop watching it. I admit, George Stephanopolos is a tool, but he’s quite accurate in many of his predictions…he is certainly not too optimistic about Hillary winning this thing…

I don’t know, I’ve heard Clinton supporters bitch about George Stephanopoulos picking on Hillary by making her admit Obama could make a successful run at the Election. ‘Obama cannot win the general election’ was her position before and now has consistently been trying to avoid admitting what the majority of Democrats believe. Obama can win.

‘Yes, yes, yes’

So…Hillary is a poor of judge character or was lying. Where’s Elton to call me misogynistic?

I know conservatives (and some liberals too, I suppose) like to come up with all sorts of ideas about who the media likes and hates but, personally, I think that it might have had more to do with the two interviewers being twits than some vast conspiracy.
