It’s going to be a long, long wait for the election to be over in November. RT and I’ve been watching CNN and their coverage of the South Caroline Democratic Primary. Lord help us! They’re bringing in every Tom, Dick, Harry and Soledad to give their opinions and analysis of what’s going on.
They’re giving us information/opinions on:
How the black vote might go.
How the white vote might go.
How the female vote might go.
How the Hispanic vote might go.
How the lower income vote might go.
How the affluent vote might go.
What the racial break down might be.
Whether a particular candidate might “over-perform” or “under-perform.”
They explain what they mean by “exit polls.” It’s such a difficult concept, you know.
They have a countdown clock for when the polls will close and they will start getting numbers to put on the boards.
They tell us about each of the candidates - about their goals, their dreams, their tactics, their biographies.
The worst folks to give opinions couched in “reporting” are Roland Martin, Gloria Borger, Candy Crowley, Donna Brazile and Jeffrey Toobin.
Jeffrey Toobin had the ultimate patronizing and inane comment: ”Let’s not forget that John Edwards is a human being with a distinct story. . . This IS his life - to be a presidential candidate.” What an idiot!

isn´t it crazy how the CNN numbers of DC came in almost two hours late and only after Obama had announced his win already?
