Politico is so in the tank for Obama. They actually have not posted an honest positive headline on McCain or Palin this entire campaign. They like to use a lot of “back-handed” language. I go on there as much as I can to try to defend against the smears but the Obama camp has it pretty much covered and some of them are very good. Most of them are quite hateful (shocking, isn’t it)? They rarely write their own stuff, they very selectively pick and choose fragments of the work of others, spin it and then try to package it as the actual “crux” of the story. They are bunch of hack paraphrasers, IMHO. Yet, they get traffic and I don’t like the smears thrown at McCain/Palin to go unchallenged.

...And they must not have too much love for Rush Limbaugh, either: In just under an hour after his opening monologue last Tuesday, a Politico pundit misquoted him in a post that was picked up by none other than CBS, stating that Rush had "Mocked House GOP Conservatives" for torpedoing the first version of the bailout bill. The truth was he actually thanked God for the House Republicans in their refusal to vote for the bill.

So when you say Politico is in the Obama tank, that's an understatement.

You are right about Politico...what I do not understand who Fox and Greta have made them a regular? They stink in their opinion — bias bias bias.

Politico has already endorsed Obama or very soon will be.
You do not have to be a brain surgeon to figure that out.

"Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) is preempting plans by Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) to portray him as having sinister connections to controversial Chicagoans."

"Politico is so in the tank for Obama."

Yep. Reminds me of Hussein Oblahma going around the country saying, "Just wait. They're going to start playing the race card."
