So, it looks like the MSM will be happy, as we edge nearer to an Obama-McCain contest:

Both frontrunners have waylaid the Potomac River / Chesapeake Bay corridor states with Hillary and Huckabee being dealt crushing defeats.

I have to wonder how much of it can be attributed to our overzealous media combined with general sheep-like behaviour amongst the party faithful (of the GOP for McCain) or of genuine “Anybody but the Clintons” amongst the Democrats.

I mean, let us took a look at this (commented) screencap from CNN’s “election center” web site:

C’mon CNN… give us a small break, will ye? Calling an election at THREE percent of the polling districts in? It makes me wonder if y’all are really trying to orchestrate people’s minds to vote for McCain (who may prove not to be the paper tiger who is so easily swatted down - time will tell).

Of course, this is CNN - where they have the best election coverage in the nation. You know, the news network with stars like Anderson Cooper who refers to the Confederate Naval Ensign (one of the more common forms of the Confederate Flag seen) as the “Stars and Bars” (about 0:22 on the playhead)

Fox News fares not a stitch better with its continued fawning over the Republican “Kwisatz Haderach” John McCain… who lacks those nifty giant 300′ long worms to ride around into the Capitol to raise a ruction. in fact, I really see nothing that McCain offers aside from his putative interest in keeping the troops fielded and funded.

And then there is Obama - Another factor is Obama’s oratory, which according to Tom Sullivan could be compared to not entirely dissimilar style of oration used by a certain evil Austrian ex-corporal some 70 years ago.

For the record, it probably is politically incorrect (and certain violates Godwin’s Law) to compare Mr. Obama to the likes of a disgraced Austrian ex-corporal. I mean, it’s not like there are roving packs of jackbooted thugs beating up Republicans and Blue Dog Democrats who don’t quite see Mr. Obama as the Second Coming.

I figure sticking to his connections to Islam will be sufficient fodder for the ad-hominem slander machinery (formerly known as the Rove-a-Matic) which will see loads of action as we gear up for the post-primary season.
