I share this sentiment: “it sure feels like a close game called in the third inning.” The media seem to be Clinton-tired and, thus, rooting for Obama (watch the video below the fold).
Rachel Maddow explains it quite well: it feels as if the media’s out to get her right now. “It feels like someone needs to defend her, because it feels like such an unslaught.”
Buchanan put it very well as well: “the media is either at your feet or at your throat.” He also said it’s clearly a “pile-on.” “You see all these people rushing and canonizing Barack Obama. Let me tell ya: Barack Obama may win this in the next five weeks [...] but then they’ll turn around and rip him up too.”
He went on to say that “it’s unattractive and ugly.”
Bill Clinton described it rightfully as “media hysteria.”
“The press will move to him as a giant herd. It’s a herd.” Quite right.

PoliGazette Comments Policy
PoliGazette encourages comments from all viewpoints, especially those that disagree.
Comments submitted must, however, adhere to the following standards. Comments that violate
these standards may be edited or deleted without notice at the sole discretion of the editors.
Commenters who repeatedly or egregiously violate these standards or who attempt to argue
publicly with editors regarding the comments policy may be banned from commenting further.
(1) Comments should address the substantive content of the post. Comments that repeatedly
or blatantly misrepresent the content of the post or of others' comments are not welcome. Comments that
respond to something other than which the contributor or commenter may have said are irrelevant and should
not be posted.
(2) Comments should avoid vulgarity as well as racial, ethnic, religious, or sexual bigotry.
(3) Comments should not personally attack the character, personal integrity, or professional
reputation of any PoliGazette contributor or of other commenters.
(4) Comments should reflect the contributions of the commenters themselves and should not
include extensive cut-and-paste reproductions of others' words except insofar as necessary to supplement
the commenter's own arguments. Link spam, trackback spam, and propaganda spam will be instantly deleted.
(5) Public figures are considered open to all substantive criticism of their policies and statements.
Comments that present objectively false factual information about public figures (i.e. "Obama is a Muslim") or
that attack public figures by attacking their families are not welcome. Comments that merely repeat
slogans for or against a candidate without engaging in substantive comment are not welcome.
Questions or challenges to these policies or their application should be directed to the editors
by email only.
