OMIGOD—THEY DID IT AGAIN: Let’s hope last night is the very last time. Let’s hope the Democratic Party never lets NBC run another debate.

In a word, the first half hour of last night’s debate was stunning. To understand why, let’s think back to October 30, when Tim Russert and his trophy wife, Brian Williams, hosted an earlier Dem debate.

On October 30, Hillary Clinton was the clear front-runner for the Dem nomination. And the natives were getting very restless in certain parts of the press corps’ nature preserve. On Hardball, Chris Matthews had spent the previous week insisting that Barack Obama had to use the coming debate to step up his attacks on Clinton. On Monday, October 29, for example, Matthews began his program by reading a speech attacking Clinton—a speech representing “what I think Obama should say starting tomorrow night at the big MSNBC debate.”

1. I agree completely. They are picking our candidate. And I don't think it is because they want a Dem

in the WH. I have no respect for BO either.

2. Yes they are.

They have amazing POWER! Oprah just bought herself a network too.:eyes:

What is more surprising and/or depressing is how so many Democrats follow their lead as if they never got pisst off with the 8 years plus of *bush worship. Our Democrats including Congress members, they are behaving as if they were brain damaged! No way is the media pumping up Obama because he is amazing....no, it's because they fear the Clintons and have their orders to pump Obama up as it serves their purpose down the road for November.

I'm so disappointed in DU too. We are killing ourselves..... :cry:

3. Anyone who disagrees that the msm is picking our candidate

should ask Gravel, Kucinich, Richardson, Dodd, Biden (my guy) and Edwards.

They kept Edwards in for awhile than all of the sudden the only time they
would talk about him was to say he was done.

Now they are doing it to Hillary.
I hope and I pray that she has an excellent Tuesday so she shuts them all up.
