I was watching Anderson Cooper 360 tonight and they were doing a segment about this story: http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/05/29/o bamas.first.campaign/index.html

Anderson Cooper was interviewing Drew Griffin, the investigative reporter on the story and I found his take on it ridiculous. Instead of coming at the story from a direction of why Obama, who spins all this change rhetoric, used dirty tactics to be the only Democrat on the ballot, instead of winning the race fairly, Cooper's take was that this was proof Obama was a seasoned politican and ready for a Presidential race. I found this spin totally absurd. The report by Griffin was actually good and interviewed those who were knocked off the ballot by Obama. It certainly put Obama and his current spin in a negative light. After the report, Anderson Cooper asked Griffin if this even mattered and why anyone would care. It was amazing, he was getting all defensive about Obama. I have never, outside of this primary seen reporters, and mainstream ones at that be so openly for a certain candidate. Griffin replied that obviously this was important, and then described how the Obama campaign would not provide an adequate answer to his queries about the story, other than to call it a hit job. Cooper then snipped, "well, we'll let the viewers decide." Previously I had heard this line on Fox News, after some ridiculously biased story or a viewpoint Fox didn't agree with.

It just amazes me about how the media is so openly for Obama, and I think this will come back to hurt him either in the general election or at some point later. The media was also sucking up to Bush and didn't vet him properly and look what the last 8 years have been.

Did anyone else see this segment? If so, what did you think?

In case you haven't figured out that Republicans want Obama elected, just sit back and watch CNN.

Take Anderson 360, for example.  Please.

Cooper gives us multiple shots of a former Clinton superdelegate running to Obama, with much discussion of its significance.

Not a peep that Clinton picked up FOUR superdelegates today.  Nada.

We get David Gergen warning how Clinton continuing to campaign is not just hurting Obama, it is hurting Clinton too, and how it is her fault that McCain is doing so well.

We hear the same thing hammered over and over by other meat puppets:  
Most democrats want Obama to be the candidate, and want this OVER.
MOST DEMOCRATS DO NOT WANT A DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY.  THEY WANT IT OVER. THEY WANT CLINTON OUT.  THEY WANT CLINTON OUT.  IF YOU VOTE FOR CLINTON, YOU ARE UNPATRIOTIC.  IT WILL BE DISASTROUS FOR THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
In case you didn't understand what I just said, watch Anderson 360, and every meat puppet on the show will parrot the same message until it is drummed into your robotic skull, and it will be robotic after this one hour commercial for Barack Obomb.
