Who won today's print and broadcast media cycle-Clinton or Obama? |
|
Was busy all day with work and stuff; so couldn't watch MSNBC, CNN, or Fox News at all. NBC Nightly News seemed pretty unbiased and even.
Did either candidate win today's news cycle in your opinion? This is critical since it might decide which way the critical undecideds break.

5. Obama gained 6 SDs today..Hillary gained 0.5..so based on THAT metric, it's been a good day for BHO |

3. Obama got the 3 Illinois Add-on SD's, plus 3 others. |
|
Also, a leaked Obama Camp memo expected an Obama win in NC and IN. They've been wrong only once. The predicted OH, PA, TX and WA right.

They are trying desperately to make it appear like it is close. It is not! Obama by a huge margin in NC. Stick a fork in her, the Mad woman is done.

6. This nomination needs to be over |
|
If Obama can defeat Hillary by 5 or more points in North Carolina and loses by no more than 5 in Indiana, I will switch my support over to him since we need unity. If he loses North Carolina, I can't imagine anybody would want him as the nominee if he couldn't even win one of his "base" states.

8. Quit basing your support on who's ahead at the moment.... take the long view, no matter WHO you |
|
support....
Don't be so desperate to be on the side of the "winner". Have some convictions.
Support the candidate that you believe in... and if they lose, they lose.

7. Didn't watch a lot of TV, but I'd say Clinton's been on the defensive about her gas tax idea |
|
She's working at it, but the three times I turned on the TV today I kept hearing her name associated with 'gimmick' and 'pander'. With that and the super-delegate announcements, I'd say Obama's got a slight edge today.

9. You can bet it wasn't the viewer |
|
:eyes: It just seems like the same old sh*t, day-in day-out, all day long. No one is "winning" except John McCain.

10. The only news I saw was the coverage of Bil Clinton's campaign to spread the gospel of Hillary. |
|
It's really impressive, in a travelling truthteller or travelling saleman sort of way. Kind of reminds me of There Will Be Blood. I think he's doing a good thing overall, and hope he continues his ministries to the small, poor towns after Hillary drops out.
