ZOMBIE HILLARY CAN MAKE A WINNING ARGUMENT; WANTS BRAINS

Sidenote: That's... the best icon I could come up with for politics on short notice. Yes, Dubya as a super Saiyan. Because I couldn't find an icon of Obama in a manga style. Maybe I'll make a different icon later.^^;; Anyway...

That does pose an interesting question. Let me see if I can give my view on this. Sorry, this is going to be quite long.

The media is always going to have a bias one way or the other. They're operated by humans. The fact that the race has been so competitive makes this even more likely. So the first thing we have to remember is that it's not like the media have ever hated Obama in the first place.

I don't know too much yet about her current strategists either. Dick Morris obviously wasn't on her team in 2008. Her previous chief strategist was, however, Mark Penn. A good PR man and presumably knowledgeable pollster, but a neophyte when it comes to running a campaign. The Huffington Post and internet in general is littered with stories about how the campaign was bungled. He resigned April 4th, but anyone looking at how the primaries went before then will know that by then, the damage was done.

While Hillary was arguably doing well in the promotional workings before the beginning of this year, it's really hard to argue that the results say that after the beginning of this year that she's been doing well. The focus on big states and primary states was what killed her throughout February and into March ( ... )
