Will Media Ignore Bad Wright News in the Exit Polls?

This is why Obama will lose in November. He is a weak candidate with key voting blocks


Will Media Ignore Bad Wright News in the Exit Polls?
By Tim Graham | May 7, 2008 - 05:58 ET

At this point before the Wednesday morning shows, Matt Drudge is highlighting an MSNBC clip where Tim Russert says we know the nominee will be Obama, and Hillary will be the last to realize it. But will the networks' post-election coverage identify the sour notes for Obama in the exit polls? AP reporter Alan Fram found the Jeremiah Wright connection continues to hurt Obama with white voters (and this is Democratic primary voters):

Obama, the Illinois senator battling to become the first black president, again failed to gain ground with a crucial voting bloc that has consistently eluded him — working-class whites. But he was piecing together a coalition that besides blacks included the young, first-time primary voters, the very liberal and college graduates, plus sizable minorities of whites....

Wright was a looming factor in the voting, with nearly half in each state saying he was important in choosing a candidate. Of that group, seven in 10 in Indiana and six in 10 in North Carolina backed Clinton.

Those saying Wright did not influence them heavily favored Obama. In North Carolina, Obama got more votes from people saying they discounted the Wright episode than Clinton got from those affected by it, while in Indiana the two groups were about equal in size.

Among whites, eight in 10 in both states who said Wright affected their choice went with Clinton. That was well above the six in 10 whites overall who supported her.

In both states, two-thirds of Clinton's white voters said Wright was important. That compared to eight in 10 white Obama supporters who said Wright was not a factor.

Let them ignore it. The bullheaded Dems will once again put up a doofus that has no chance of winning the general election. They're too stupid to realize that putting up a far left quack with no experience is going to hand the election over to the Republican. Even if that republican is a liberal himself.

Dems are providing such great entertainment to the voters. We have a black racist, and a socialist bitch both ripping each other apart

McCain has several opening to go on the offensive, but he wants to run a "civil" campaign

Go figure

Yep. That's exactly what I think is going to happen.

I'm such a bad predictor, that I'll wait till the Dems settle it before I despair of my country entirely, but if it's a McCain versus Obama race, I think it's time for me to give up paying attention to politics for a few years.

You seem to have plenty of despair right now

If it is McCain VS Obama, the liberal media will shower Barry with positive coverage and ignore the facts about him
