If CNN ratings are any indication, it shouldn’t surprise anyone that their week long campaign for Davis failed

I would suspect that she won’t even get 37 percent of the vote, even if all the dead Democrats go to the polls.

Well, “he is not a subhuman mongrel” isn’t exactly a great campaign slogan. Right up there with “I am not a crook.”

Biased, advocacy journalism benefiting particular candidate is effectively an “in-kind” campaign donation.

How many of CNN’s 7 viewers weren’t already supporting the daughter of Lilith?

She came out of nowhere and she’ll go back to nowhere. Her dreams of being the next Ann Richards were a pipe dream at best.
