McCain has a 3 to 1 advantage on MSM sites: ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox!

HELP ACT, Please. YOU ARE NEEDED! Stop blogging to the converted. Obama is getting slandered with no rebuttals on USA Today! It seems like 10:1 ! So much so that folks are saying "where are the Obama supporters?".

Your comment can be one click away from 12 Million plus unique eyeballs a month!
Look for articles with 10 or less comments then you can be seen with the article forever!
McCain dominates on these sites too. It looks like no one supports Obama!

Stop Blogging to the Converted!
Bloggers! Help!
Fellow Dems, your thoughtful posts are needed by independent voters who get their information from the MSM! We are blogging to the converted!
The first 10 posts are often "Husien is a Hamass MUSLIM!" Let's get some facts out there!

We are supposed to dominate the Web but I think we are all at MSNBC.com or here.
I worry sometimes we are blogging to the converted!
Let's make sure these 40 million people have an opportunity to get the facts on Barack Obama.
Thanks for your help....
Calling all writers! ABC News, USA Today, CBS News: need a few good pro Obama, on message posts!
These are some sites that could use a couple of pro Obama, on message posts every night.
On some of these sites if you can be one of the first 10 you can be on the same page with the article forever, or just one click away when the user views the oldest posts first. Also remember to recommend other good pro Obama posts!
Many times I see articles and the first 10 or 20 posts are all anti Obama, many slanderous. It would be nice to balance those posts out.

Great article rejecting the "Flip Flop" / "Race to the Center" smear on Obama
by the chief speechwriter and deputy policy director for Rudy Giuliani's presidential campaign:
"Throughout the left-wing blogosphere, the cry has come: Barack Obama is moving away from them, and to the center. "Moving to the middle is for losers," cried the politically ambidextrous Arianna Huffington. He's "betraying his claims of being a new kind of politician," declared Markos Moulitsas of Daily Kos.
But all this outrage ignores the obvious: Throughout his career, Obama has consistently framed himself as a post-partisan centrist. He's been a bridge-builder all his life, first between black and white, and now between left and right.
It's a formula for victory in a country that's essentially center-right. Even after all the alienation from the Bush administration, a new Washington Post/ABC poll affirms that only 19 percent of Americans describe themselves as liberal, while 43 percent say moderate and 35 percent, conservative.
...."
McCain's Ad "Love" shows hippies kissing and him in Vietnam. The theme being his love of country has always come before self love.
How does his divorce fit this claim of continual sacrifice and self service?
Today an article was published about his divorce with an interview with his x-wife, Carol.

From an Obama supporter asking a favor of Hillary supporters:
If Obama wins the nomination, that victory is worth less than nothing without Clinton supporters' votes in the fall. Because Obama is not going to win with only half of the Democrats.
Having earned about 50% of the vote Hillary Clinton and her supporters should have an unprecedented say in the policy, priorities and staffing (including VP) of the potential Democratic administration.
Do Clinton supporters have any ideas to make it possible for them to vote for the Democratic nominee in November and give him a chance for the next 4 years?
The scenarios are Stolen from Elrod's Prediction Thread, but I thought it would be fun to put it up as a poll. We can find out how good at predicting results this community is on aggregate. Users who want to go on record individually can use the comments.
Elrod picks:
North Carolina: Obama wins by 8-11 points
Indiana: Clinton wins by 5-8 points
As an Obama supportor I am curious about folks feelings on Hillary's positions on Iran.
Are Hillary's supporters comfortable with her hawkish positions?
Or do you wish she was more moderate on Iran and going into Iraq originally?

...In the next 10 years, during which they might foolishly consider launching an attack on Israel, we would be able to totally obliterate them. That's a terrible thing to say but those people who run Iran need to understand that because that perhaps will deter them from doing something that would be reckless, foolish and tragic.
Her support for declaring the Iranian National Guard a terrorist organization is another example.
