A Hillary win would put many eggs on the face of the Media Morons
As early as today, they were writing her political obituary.

Barring some sudden change, it looks like it'll be close either way.


But are they going to engage in any soul searching? Will they take their medicine with a dose of humility?

Nawwwwwwwwwww.....

3. It's messing up Matthews whole story line.
Hmmmm...where is Chris now? Did they lock him in the quiet room?

4. I want them to think twice before freaking out when a woman shows emotion
and making it the story of the day on every network -- whether they think it's 'too angry' or 'too weak' or whatever.

I'd love to see voters throw it in their face, I must say.

But yeah, she may not win, but it's looking close -- maybe we've got a real race now?

7. CNN is beating themselves up pretty well. Now that's entertaining!
I just want the media to get their corporate BS manipulative crap butts kicked. Any Democratic winner will be fine.

9. Why media morons, and not those who answer/conduct polls?

Take it up with the poll takers, not the media who salivates over the poll takers, if Hillary wins.

I just find it hard to believe people would be excited about Obama, no one has time to look at Hillary, Obama draws the biggest crowds... but then folks choose Hillary --

Even with a Wilder/Dinkins Effect in place.

But let's wait until all the votes are in.

17. I think they ought to embargo polls
They won't of course.

But imagine election campaigns where there is no "front runners" and all of the candidates would be on a level playing field. No pre-vote "momentum," no backtracking to adjust messages, no over the shoulder quarterbacking by pundits....

Aint gonna happen I know. But maybe at some point we'll all stop taking the polls so damn seriously.

11. Wow.....eggs all around! The people actually do still posess the power!
I have been waiting with baited breath for the pack of wolves that is our media to descend on the 1st serious woman candidate for President. I was so disappointed to watch them all jump into the fray on Monday, even the 'liberal' guys I like so much. Here's a question to them from me; Hey guys, why can't you just go ahead and let yourselves like us for once? You know you want to. It's okay, really, it doesn't make you less of a man, it makes you a real man, the kind we, the best sort of women in the world, LIKE...a LOT. Why not go with it, instead of kicking and screaming and ganging up on us like a bunch of schoolboys with taunts and pebbles? Let's be friends! Or we'll kick you in the shins! SMILE. It's a new day dawning, and it's good for you too! A tear. :)
