Oh Yes! You know the Obama coronation rule. Some random lib journalist puts that prophetic title to some candidate's name, and it's gonna stick WITHOUT QUESTION in every single media report up to and far beyond the election.
For almost 2 years now, I still have local news using the phrase "rising star, Sen. Barak Obama" with out any, ANY justification whatsoever! I'm still waiting, but it seems to me the only rising Obama did was AFTER the media coronation party for him, when he ran virtually unopposed against a last minute candadate to win the election.
Actually, if I remember correctly, someone from the DNC reported to a journalist covering the convention that Obama "was a rising star." Then that was it!...We then heard "rising star, Barak Obama" for the next two years in the media with no justification. What a freebie! How would any politician love to have 'rising star' in front of their name for not doing a single damn thing but breath!
