Default Why

Why does the media always give the percentage of Americans that support a certain PRESIDENTIAL candidate? Gore easily won that stupid poll, and it made zero difference.

meida is bias scuds they went to portray things to the public for their own concerns instead of just giving facts out

ex in 2000 - cbs was the network that declared gore a winner in florida while the polls were still open in those 2 counties in western florida that are heavy republican , how could a mistake like this happen you ask , simple the media was trying to dictate the results in that state



fwiw i think Obama is a stone cold lock , i'm not for either candidate , but, it would be hard to see him losing at this point

Didn't Kerry have a similar lead over Bush at this point pre-convention? That just seems to be the pattern as I think Gore was large over Bush in 2000 early as well.

obama is 1/2 in vegas right now , now we don't bet on 1/2 shots for a reason , but, 1/2 shots win a lot of the time

country wants change , in my opinion , if the dems and independents who voted in the dem primary did not want change we would have hillary vs mc cain
since 1960 no dem has won the white house without carrying at least 1 southern state

it looks like obama is more than alive in VA and NC this year if he can win one of those states he is very highly the next presdient of the US

Trust me Marty..there's nothing this lefty-ass would like more is for that to happen. But I worry about being 'Swift-Boated" again on something, I worry about too many in this country not being able to vote for an african-american perceived as a Muslim by many, etc.

I wouldn't worry about Obama losing. 4 years ago the war was popular, the economy wasn't as far into the sh1tter as it is now, gas was $2 a gallon cheaper and Morty actually wrote something clever on occasion.

You only have to look at who owns that particular media company.
