[I]f the press is bored with the Presidential field, maybe they could pay some more attention to a Mike Huckabee or a Bill Richardson, a Chris Dodd or a Tommy Thompson (well, maybe not Tommy Thompson), all of whom are arguably more qualified to be President than some of the current front-runners. I'm all for watching candidates who are capable of "making the other smoothies on stage a little uncomfortable" - I just want those candidates to also be capable of saying something halfway interesting, and maybe even capable of winning some votes as well.
Although he's writing about something different than I am, these words raise a question: Is it just me or is this primary season the most frustratingly obvious example of the press rigging the election by formulating their own narrative and then becoming unhappy with the outcome of things?
It is not just you, Brian, and it is not just this season.
MSNBC's commentors (Buchanan et al) were singing the praises of Hillary (she was 'presidential') after the SC debate this week. Anytime they are all saying nice things about the same person, I'm very suspicious. Actually I'm suspicious of anything on cable news. LOL.
If they get their wish with Hillary, they will be saying the Dems are doomed because she was selected.
