If they are pushing Obama then it is a image buildup for worldwide coverage. It will get sympathy and connection<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
As of last weekend media had about 80+ positive stories on Obama and 40+ negative stories on Clinton. This was reported by Chris Matthews of MSNBC. Media's playing a big role in all this.
-----------------
On GOP, as I had mentioned yesterday, Hucakbee is now a very strong contender for VP post. McCain knows that he can't get elected without carrying south.
If Gulliani had VP aspirations in McCain Presidency, it's over - like his candidacy.
-----------------
Something that strikes me is that in almost every state, the number #1 in Democratic party is pulling in as many votes as the combined #1 and #2 of Republican!!!
For example: in GA, Obama alone has 696,622 votes.
Which is greater than #1 Huckabee (325,602) and #2 Romney(289,118) combined!!!
Pick any other state, and you'll see a very similar pattern across the nation.
Is Republican confidence so low that they are sitting this one out?
Or there are less registered Republicans than registered Democrats?
Or states where independents are allowed to vote going democrat in big way?
Not sure. But this trend doesn't bode well for McCain.
