Yes the elections over and Obama won...blah blah blah but nonetheless an
interesting video.
The people seemed fairly intelligent, just not terrible well informed of facts.

BTW, if it only takes 12 interviews to smear an entire group of voters, maybe Ziegler should have visited a Palin rally.

How Obama got elected

He ran against the Candidate of the failed Republican Party that fucked our country over for the last 7+ years. If the last Administration had been successful he probably wouldn't have won.

*shrug*

I voted for Obama, and even I admit that the press seemed to be in love with him and didn't print a lot of negative stories.

In my mind this doesn't indicate a liberal bias so much as a sensational bias...a young black guy preaching a message of "hope" is a much better story than yet another old white guy talking about how he isn't George Bush.

Yeah but common sense says you don't switch horses in the middle of a stream when the ride is going well.Hell when your own leader of the Party (Bush) can't campaign for you because he's so reviled (along with everybody else in his Admin) you are at a severe disadvantage just coming out of the gate. Add to that running an erratic campaign, selecting a joke for a running mate which is bound to get critical press, McCain's goose was cooked.

I agree; it would have been virtually impossible for any Republican to win this one. McCain was pretty much their best bet, although I'm sure he regrets picking Palin as a running mate.

I was just noting that although Zeigler is undoubtably a douche, and I don't buy his conclusion that the media elects the president, he is right in pointing out that the media was pretty pro-Obama.
