Didn’t the media do a similar thing with the McCain selection? Since McCain was the most left leaning liberal of the Republican candidates, the MSM biased the news to report things favorable toward McCain, while under reporting positions of other genuinely conservative candidates. Basically conservative Republicans got blindsided by the media so now we have the presumptive nominee, McCain.
It’s a simple strategy, declare a winner, and the win is self-fulfilling. Even the dems are being blindsided by the media, and most don’t realize what’s happening.

Yes, McCain is STILL referred to as the “PRESUMPTIVE” nominee. Since the pledged Republican delegates could change their support after the first vote at convention, maybe just maybe there is a chance McCain could be dumped for someone else. That is my hope, and it would be my dream come true if it happened!
