Barack Obama will have two opponents in the fall. If he were only running against John McCain, his victory would be a sure thing. But his other opponent is the media, the only group of people in this country who think John McCain is an inspiring leader. In the end, as in 2000, they will stop at nothing to elect their favored candidate. He may be wrong about everything, but he’s been wrong about all the things they’ve been wrong about, so they love him. Besides, he gives them drinks and feeds them barbecued meat. Check out this video from Media Matters. This is CNN, not the Fox Network. Reporter Jim Acosta reports that McCain was heckled.
If that’s the kind of “incoming” that McCain has faced in the past, then those tales of heroism have, like everything else in McCain’s history, been wildly overhyped.
Obama can still win this election, but only if he realizes that his most powerful opponent is the press. A co-ordinated counteroffensive by the rest of the party is in order here. We can’t let them do to Obama what they did to Gore.
