The Unfair Coverage of the 08 Candidates
Bagnewsnotes has a wonderful article about the media ignoring most of the candidates.
I support my senator, Barack Obama, but, I know the coverage of Edwards has been crap. I don't blame people who support JE for being angry. He is virtually ignored and minimalized. Not taken seriously.
My candidate has been reduced to a Male Model without a brain. He gets plenty of coverage but, it's more gossipy and they dismiss the fact that this is a very smart and thoughtful and hard working senator.
Then, there is the weeklong coronation of Hillary to the point of stupid. They have her declared our queen and pretty much try to convince us that no point in voting. she has it sewn up.
anyway, here is the link and you Edwards supporters, Cheer!

1. Thanks....
One bright spot - Edwards is leading in Iowa, Hillary is trailing in fourth place. He has been courting Iowa for the last two years, she's just making her first visit. I have always thought that the flame that burns too brightly also burns quickly.

2. I know the coverage of Edwards has been appalling. My candidate gets alot but,
when Edwards is running in first or second in the polls in several states and yet is dismissed, I would be really upset if I was a supporter.
