I agree with you on this one (surprisingly :o)

What I am interested in is the power of the press. I wonder what, if any, effect it will have on votes. A lot of our populace is really uninformed about the policies and positions of candidates and they rely too much on what the media presents.


>>Remember the confrontation between Obama and Clinton?

>I have to defend Hillary in this case. (Yes, it's painful). Politicians have their picture taken with lots of people. AFAIK the Clintons did not have any business dealings with Mr. Rezko. Obama did. Obama has admitted it was dumb of him to buy land from Rezko after he was under investigation. (The investigation itself had to do with real estate dealings, nothing to do with Obama). IMO the Rezko thing has been greatly overplayed, with the Clintons right in there slinging mud with both hands, but I don't fault Hillary for being in a picture with him.

>One of the things I like about Obama is he'll admit it when he makes a mistake. You get the impression Hillary would gnaw her own arm off first.
