Well, CBS took the lead in brushing off Clinton's admitted infidelities. They turned his national candidacy around even though popular opinion at the time showed he was losing it as a candidate.
Granted, though, the media is losing its king-making power. Couric certainly doesn't show much clout lately for CBS. Hopefully the trend will continue and Hellery's MSM friends won't be able to help her this time.
And let's not forget that years later CBS released the *whole* interview and it became clear they 'airbrushed' it to eliminate the more difficult moments. Media now is greasing the skids for Hillary, Obama, and few other media favorites.
Meanwhile the GOP candidate will not be directly responsible for Iraq, which Bush had weighing him down in 2004. So if the GOP candidate runs a good campaign, with domestic positions similar to Bush, than he should be able to do a little better against Hillary than Bush did against Kerry. That would mean he wins every state that Bush won plus possibly New Hampshire, Wisconsin, Oregon, and/or Pennsylvania. Maybe if Hillary pulled out all the stops she could take Iowa from the GOP, but overall I think we would do a little better against her than against Kerry and win decisively in the electoral vote. I sure hope my analysis is correct.
