I've heard that they might try and go on to PA if she wins one, but if she loses both its over.

The media has been vicious to Hillary. I love politics but I had to stop watching and reading everything about this primary. I'm a Dem and all the worshipping toward one Dem and ripping apart the other disgusts me.

I think the MSM became vicious to Hillary ONLY when they realized she may possibly lose. Before then, she got all the headlines and praise.

I think Hillary would probably win Pa. But without both Texas and Ohio under her belt, Pa. won't really do much for her.

Sorry to interupt.... but.... isn't the title the wrong way around then? Or is this one of those cultural things?
Surely the bias should be against her if she's complaining about it?

whatever, you just have to hope that most people can see right through the media BS and vote using their own brain (whether it be for Obama or Hillary)

I see it that way,too. Any victories or accomplishments she made were really downplyed with a "Well, what about Obama doing waay better than expected in_____". I keep hearing accusations of whining. Is it always whining to express a complaint, or are there truly no legitimate complaints? Or is it only whining when it's done by someone you don't care for? Because I totally agree with her assessment that it seems biased that she has had to speak first in every debate. I'd love to be the person who goes second and just gets to say that they basically agree with their opponent.

We live in an American Idol and Dancing with the Stars Culture and Obama has the rock star appeal. That's enough for some people.

For the record: I do not dislike this man and I do not think he isn't intelligent and capable. I am just not starstruck like many seem to be.

Im tired of both of them and their followers.

^^ Crumpet, I'll take you one further. I think we live in a country where the MSM is deciding picking our candidates- on both sides. Its all about ratings for them. So if they can create stories, valid, sprack, etc., they will.

The media is treating her very respectful, and still as a viable candidate even though she has lost eleven straight primaries and caucuses. If it was any other candidate they would not be taking seriously anymore. If Obama had lost eleven straight, it would be Obama WHO at this point!
