Maybe Obama caught their sails simply because he wanted to "move on" to a different way of doing things? When Frodo looks at John McCain he sees Dwight Eisenhower. When he looks at Hillary Clinton (with all due apologies) he sees Richard Nixon. Maybe the media guys and gals see through Frodo's eyes?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7735006605195830006.post-69207145459039471282008-04-23T20:32:00.000-04:002008-04-23T20:32:00.000-04:00A poet in the corner Sitting on her throneSome lik...A poet in the corner <BR/>Sitting on her throne<BR/>Some like her verse,<BR/>Others not her tone. <BR/> <BR/>Give the lady credit.<BR/>She's got a lot of grit<BR/>Join in her jubilation<BR/>She made another hit.<BR/> <BR/>PA is behind her<BR/>Indiana in the fore <BR/>And if Hillary gets the numbers,<BR/>BJ will shout some more!<BR/> <BR/>She's earned her celebration<BR/>So join her in her fun<BR/>It's better than Obama's<BR/>"Annie get your gun."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7735006605195830006.post-19271117145782794672008-04-23T18:37:00.000-04:002008-04-23T18:37:00.000-04:00From the very first mention of this nomination pro...From the very first mention of this nomination process on this blog, I have:<BR/><BR/>• Given my reasons for supporting Hillary Clinton.<BR/>• Have said the Democratic Party is very blessed to have such outstanding candidates in this race.<BR/>• Have stated many times I will gladly vote for the Party’s nominee.<BR/>• And, have firmly insisted a McCain presidency would be disastrous for this country.<BR/><BR/>My beef is with the media. I don’t know how I could have made this any clearer. Bias and commentary have seeped into cable news reporting at the expense of viewers being informed, and that’s regrettable.<BR/><BR/>BJB.J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12004309077511856506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7735006605195830006.post-58142018428130014172008-04-23T17:50:00.000-04:002008-04-23T17:50:00.000-04:00BJ -- what fun you had with your verse!

A blog is for your personal opinions and a place where you can have FUN! That's what I took from your "poem."<BR/><BR/>I will definitely vote for Obama if he's the Dem nominee . . . and when it gets down to it, I think most Hillary supporters will too. I hope Obama supporters will do the same. I'm sad about the conflict, but as you said earlier, conflict sells.<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, conflict also produces votes, but I'll never understand that part of politics . . .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7735006605195830006.post-83658828605031223042008-04-23T16:29:00.000-04:002008-04-23T16:29:00.000-04:00Have you looked at the mathmatical probablities fo...Have you looked at the mathmatical probablities for Clinton to actually win? <BR/><BR/>I watched the return results last night on CNN and MSNBC and I found that the coverage was slanted heavily towards talking about McCain on CNN and Hillary is back on MSNBC. All day long it was a love fest of Hillary and the PA vote as if this put her over the top in delegates. It didn't.<BR/><BR/>Clinton would have to win every single election by 32 points or better to get just a few delegates over Obama. Numbers don't lie so I tend to think she is playing the spoiler.<BR/><BR/>Just my thoughts, call me a jerk.Papamokahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14611162290397820224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7735006605195830006.post-67659389567036285882008-04-23T14:03:00.000-04:002008-04-23T14:03:00.000-04:00Eowyn: It’s a shame you don’t own a TV.

As a journalist, I am interested in media ethics, a point I’ve made on this blog many times – one that has been sorely overlooked with pro-Obama comments which never even broached the point of said posts.<BR/><BR/>As a working journalist I adhered to stict objectivity. A blog, as an editorial or a column, is a place to express opinions on issues. If you want straight news, go to cnn.com or nytimes.com.<BR/><BR/> BJB.J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12004309077511856506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7735006605195830006.post-10133540779764135732008-04-23T13:46:00.000-04:002008-04-23T13:46:00.000-04:00I don't know quite how to articulate this.

But what you find in their tone is what has appeared in yours and increased along the way. <BR/><BR/>It's a political contest, a fight that everyone is working very hard. The primary is way too long. Etc. Etc. Positions pro and con are strong. But, the slanted emotional put-down In Totality doesn't wash anywhere.<BR/><BR/>You are a journalist and an avid supporter of one of the candidates; don't those positions mesh?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
