She's arrogant and corrupt, and doesn't hide either well. While her husband was generally likable, she comes across as a calculating b----.
The media and the liberal elite have been looking for someone else to step up and be a better choice.
Edwards obviously wasn't it. Obama is the only other candidate to stand out and have a chance of winning if the media backs him.
So Obama is their best hope.
McCain and Huckabee were the media's best hope of the Republicans nominating someone that the Democrats could beat, and both got a lot of help from the press.
They would have probably been even happier with a Huckabee matchup, but McCain is their next best shot.
After all, McCain shares Hillary's arrogance and contrariness. He's going to be easy to make look bad using sound bytes and short clips, and his record isn't going to help him much with conservatives.
“The media realized Clinton was a losing candidate.”
Its very possible that they know darn well she is a nasty, power hungry, criminal who would make Nixon look like Mr Rogers and is married to a corupt lying sleezebag. therefore they will support any reasonable alternative. Please note that no republican would be a reasonable alternative, even if the Democratic nominee were Pol Pot.
Good point that the MEDIA/Hacks would have been even happier with a Huckabee matchup and McCain is their next best shot. Just go back tto the first Media fawnings over Huckabee, I remember saying to myself they really want this guy, Huck....it was very obvious from day 1!
