Reality Bites

The media most certainly plays a huge role in politics. Obviously, voters get their information about candidates, positions, scandals, etc. all from newspapers, radio, TV and internet. In today’s society, more often than not, perception is reality. That reality is not good news for Hillary Clinton at the moment. Look at these headlines from Google News. These are all from the front page of a Google search on Hillary Clinton and there are many more like them. I’ve learned to never count the Clinton’s out, but this surge for Obama is large and impressive. As I’ve said earlier, Clinton is the best candidate for Republicans, the more this Democratic race shifts to Obama, the harder it’s going to be for McCain in November (and it wouldn't be easy with Clinton...just less difficult).
