The 'Darling' Of Leftist Media
Tuesday 07-22-2008 12:47pm CT


              I've always believed that any Democrat presidential candidate automatically enters the race against his counterpart from the Republican side with a 15-20 percent advantage.
               How can that be?
               Simple. The left media machine determines that this be the case and it's a given for the advantage because the left controls the media.
                Well, I'm raising the ante: I give Barack Hussein Obama a 25-point lead after securing the party's nomination to face Sen. John McCain.
                I've never seen such a blatant rush to Obama from the leftist media. Several have even fawned publicly about the fascination of this man. How can this be? Isn't the media supposed to unbiased. One would hope, but this is a "war" betweeen the left and right media and poor old John McCain -- and the right -- are losing the early part of the battle.
                 Now I'm not writing off McCain's chances. Things are still amazingly close. Why? Well, I believe -- and I hope it continues -- the American people are more adept than the left-wing media to judge things, like a presdential race. My desire is that they really examine under the suit to find nothing there.
