More evidence that the News Corporations are scared to death of Edwards:
http://i.a.cnn.net/cnn/2008/images/01/12/rel1b.pdf

They ask the following question (I'm paraphrasing--the full question and results are listed below): Which of the following candidates will you definitely not vote for?

Edwards was not one of the options. Unless of course no one said they wouldn't vote for him. (My guess: CNN didn't want Edwards listed because they want to discount his candidacy. Had they asked, perhaps they would have found out that he IS the most electable of all the candidates, both Democratic and Republican.)

Corrupt, powerful corporations in this country are scared shitless of John Edwards. Another reason we should vote for him. Here's the poll question and results. The last number listed is the most recent result (January 12--yesterday):

BASED ON 840 REGISTERED VOTERS -- SAMPLING ERROR: +/- 3.5% PTS.
11. For each of the following candidates, please tell me whether you will definitely vote for that person in November if they won their party's nomination, whether you might consider voting for that person, or
whether you will definitely not vote for that person in November. (RANDOM ORDER)

DEFINITELY NOT VOTING FOR

Hillary Clinton 37% 19% 43% *
Barack Obama 30% 32% 38% *
John McCain 22% 35% 43% *
Rudy Giuliani 19% 25% 55% *
Mike Huckabee 15% 31% 52% 1%
Mitt Romney 13% 25% 62% 1%

--------------------

Me again: Looks like CNN has already decided these six are the only ones with any shot of winning nominations.

To hell with the MSM.

1. Denying The Problem In Hopes It Will Go Away ...
.
As long as Edwards stands, the system has to eventually come to deal with him. The Corporation is hoping the problem will solve itself by ignoring Edwards.

This election is the people versus the corporations. This is for keeps with no do overs. Do not think for a moment the corporations will play fair. Edwards is not welcomed.

If all the corporations do is not allow him to be seen or heard, Edwards will be getting off easy. Expect the worst.

3. They included Rudy911?
I know he's in a different Party, but Rudy911 has one single delegate. Edwards has 18.

rudy911 doesn't have a chance and Edwards should have been included.

He's going to a brokered convention in Denver no matter what Rupert Murdoch does.

5. ALL The Cable News Shows
are ignoring Edwards as a viable choice.
If they have their way, it will be H or O as the nominee
and then they'll destroy them in the general.

Thanks to the people who care more about breaking barriers
than actually electing a Democrat president, we'll get 8 more years of GOP.

6. Agree. Edwards has received more votes than at least one of the Rethugs
that they DID include, so the criteria for inclusion don't seem consistent. They included 4 Rethugs and 2 Dems.

7. The columns could be clarified--IIRC, the first one is "definitely FOR"
the second is "would CONSIDER voting for", and the third is "definitely NOT."

9. When did you announce your candidacy?
And, how many delegates have you won toward the nomination. No, not scared of you. Scared out of their minds by Edwards.

11. Hey! John's on CNN right now!
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x4052908

They have to be terrified, now they are giving him time on air, they knew that if they blacklisted him people would accuse them of being terrified.

So they were forced to have him on air for an interview. You're right, they are shakin' in their boots.

10. How many caucuses have Ghouliani and Mittens won? I see them included on the list
yet I can't remember hearing that either one of them performed well in either Iowa or New Hampshire.

K&R!!

13. Simple they knew Edwards would pull the most votes
I wonder how long Blitzer can get by with treating Edwards the way he did.. I bet it will come home someday, I can hardly stand listing to him... I remember one day Jack Cafferty said don't touch me Wolf you make me nerveous/scared or similar word. What was the meaning of that?
