12. It's quite sad to see how easily people can be manipulated
by the corporate media's bu__sh__.

The only reason Clinton's #s are up now, is b/ the media wanted to pretend it's a brand new ballgame after Hillary picked up a whopping 12 delegates in Pa. Her campaign has been dead for months now, but the media has a vested interest in pretending otherwise so that they can a) continue to rack in advertising revenue through the high ratings this soap opera brings them. b) allow McCain to get a free ride untill the GE. and, c)weaken Obama as much as possible so McCain will have a chance.

If you're judging Hillary's current poll #s as an indication of how things would go in the GE, you're being very shortsighted to say the least. As I've said, the only reason she's keeping her head above water now is b/ the media is giving her a free ride and using her to destroy Obama. If Clinton were to somehow end up w/ the nomination the media would do a complete 180 and turn the barrel of their psycho drivel towards Hillary.

Between the endless attacks on Hillary that would follow, the already polorizing aura that the Clinton's carry, and the bridges they've burned in this primary... No way she wins in the general.
