Reply #1: Hmmm.. [View All]

Doesn't something like this go to show that some of the reason that Hillary has gotten the media coverage she has gotten, is somewhat because she was the favourite - and the underdog started winning. And not, at least not only, because of the, percieved or real as it might be, animosity that the media has towards her?

Her story became the story of someone who dropped the ball and Obamas the story of an underdog winner. Wouldn't the media picture have been that same afterwards, had it been football or basketball?

Since this is my first post I think I need to provide some background: 33 year old guy from Denmark(yeah, the one in Europe) immensely interested in your presidential election. And since I am hoping, more than a little, for a democratic president - and your nominees (and resulting primaries) this time are extremely interesting, I sort of started lurking here to get more information. Oh, and since English is not my native language, please do excuse weird sentence constructions or spelling errors. (Corrections are more than welcome though :) ).
