    Amazing how similiar this guy is in comparison to the last guy, isn't it?
    Actually as of today, it's about 3-4 points. Dubya actually pulled ahead by a point or two for one polling cycle.

    Rush Limbaugh is entertainment...the nightly news is supposed to be unbiased and deliver the news.

    False equivalence is a specialty of the liberal mindset.

    In that wrongheaded view of the world: all news outlets are equal to talk radio and cable TV programs.

    Nothing could be further from the truth.

    I don't know...so I'll ask...

    Do certain channels pay less taxes than others?

    Why the question? I don't see the connection here.

    Oh some of them are getting more than that. NBC, when owned by GE, was getting some major tax breaks and/or contracts related to alternative energy resources. It's no shock why Brian Williams was the only one invited to do that two-day special with the Obamas. I'm sure it was payback for positive reporting, as have been the contracts and breaks GE has received.

    You know...and I'm saying this for any election and any candidate

    What in the hell do polls with "generic" candidates do or prove?

    Someone who knows more than I do please explain....I really dont see the point of them

    I would think polls againist named opponents would mean and do more....am I wrong

    Writer, you know that Stlouie is just going to scoff at Ventre's well written op-ed and claim he's just an opinionated misinformed, right-wing hack...right?

    Here's another take, with even more details from when all this was on high boil.

    This is a blog, but he does a great job of citing his mainstream sources to back up what he's writing about on this issue.

    You're preaching to the choir...lol! ;) It's difficult to convince liberals of the obvious love affair the media has for their Appointed One.

    Like a said, the real Republican candidate has yet to emerge.....Perry might be the one. Ya never know....

    I'm late on the Tuesday night session, but I wasn't really sold on any of the "contestants" on stage that night. A buddy of mine told me to pay attention to Santorum... He's a good one, he said. Mmmmmnot so much. He and Bachman both could have not shown. Didn't care for either one. Romney never really did it for me and who can follow Ron Paul!?

    All that to say, I'm looking forward to giving Rick Perry a look.

    I still am holding a candle for Mr. Christie, but he's not budging much. I've always liked Rick Perry, although some say he's not conservative enough. Bullbutter.

    Santorum is not a good one. Unelectable.

    Thats what I thought about Barack Hussein Obama. Who would have thought a political nobody with a muslim sounding name post 9/11 would stand a chance.

    I never thought a dorky looking inept peanut farmer from Plains, Georgia would emerge to become POTUS either, but Jimmy Carter did. Thanks to Carter, Ronald Reagan was a shoo-in.

    Let's hope Obama is the prelude to someone similar.

    everybody brings up carter but in case you forgot carter had to withstand a very tough primary challenge from ted kennedy. the party was divided.

    Which makes Carter's emergence as the party's eventual candidate even more amazing.
