The Politico, amazingly, prints what I’ve heard said elsewhere:
The difference seems clear: Many journalists are not merely observers but participants in the Obama phenomenon.
(Harris only here: As one who has assigned journalists to cover Obama at both Politico and The Washington Post, I have witnessed the phenomenon several times. Some reporters come back and need to go through detox, to cure their swooning over Obama’s political skill. Even VandeHei seemed to have been bitten by the bug after the Iowa caucus.)
(VandeHei only here: There is no doubt reporters are smitten with Obama’s speeches and promises to change politics. I find his speeches, when he’s on, pretty electric myself. It certainly helps his cause that reporters also seem very tired of the Clintons and their paint-by-polls approach to governing.)
Ah, yes. Stuff like Universal Health Care is so, so tiring. Dull, dull, dull. After all, they’ve got insurance.
If you don’t want the press choosing your President again, one thing you could do about it is vote for Hillary.

I think electing
Clinton would be the biggest strike against the MCM we could possibly do. They hate the Clinton’s, and if the electorate chose them, despite all the garbage and McCain fluffing, that would be huge in showing the media that they are irrelevant now.
Bill Clinton for First Dude!!!
I got 12 out of 14
But that’s b/c I answered every question “Barack Obama” or “Obama’s Campaign” or “Obama’s Campaign spokesperson” or “Obama’s advisor”
They just had to put some trick ones in there.
Darn them.
Bill Clinton for First Dude!!!
Me too, Aeryl
That was too easy though.
"journalists" are actually doing a signed statement now
against ABC—appalling. — http://www.thenation.com/doc/20080505/op…
their sudden need to attack debates and questions should have been in evidence all along—but that was against Hillary so it was ok, apparently. Sick—and it’ll ensure his defeat in Nov. Why have these folks been just as unwilling to question him—just like the media they’re now decrying?
Obama Is Just A Fling
Don’t worry; when Hillary is out of the way, they will go back to their true love: McCain.
