    Because the his victory was so narrow. After Forida in 2000 it should hardly surprise you they're a little more cautious now. Even so, the first report I saw last night was on CNN and they spent a lot of time on the Oklahoma race precisely because it was a contest. Most of the other contests weren't very close. Some of Clark's totals were pitiful.

    ... At least Clark is trying to get himself on the news now, directly going after Kerry and Edwards. The gloves are *finally* off. Clark had been going out of his way to not bash either candidate, but today in TN, he went after them on their voting records and stance on the issues.



    This will probably get him some attention.

    Who said that? They don't like Kerry any more than Clark, IMO, it's just that Kerry has been getting votes. And the way Clark talks, it's not at all clear he's less liberal than Kerry. So how do you get liberal bias?



    Liberal bias in that the media seems to have annointed/spun Senator Kerry as the Democratic Nominee and has taken measures (detailed above in this thread and in others) to trash the other nominees. If you don't like the word 'Liberal' then just call it bias; I ain't particular.



    The Party has designated Kerry as the Democratic Standard Bearer. The rest of the process is a formality.

    Dr. Dean should never have gone to Medical School. He should have gone to West Point. What MASSIVE balls. Gotta admire that, even if I don't like his views.

    Yeah, that's gutsy . . . but it also shows a lack of respect for the "masses" as he himself put it, that makes me absolutely sure I would not want him as my leader
