An Election Morass

Which Presidential Candidate can overcome the power of the Media Bias? Which Candidate will not only expect to be attached, but can deflect the media bias?

Over the weekend, I was watching the morning news on ABC, which I admit has been the most critical of the Obama Administration. This has primarily been because ABC News is littered with former Clinton Insiders. They are critical of the Obama Administration not because the President is wrong in his political beliefs, but they are critical of him because they do not want to see him succeed. Because if he does, then their political icons (HRC and BJC will be the ones moving to the back burner even faster then they already are.)

But sitting there, enduring the morning news a thought occurred to me. Which Candidate can handle the onslaught when the Liberal Media Establishment goes after them. There is no way that with the baggage that Paul has - will he be acceptable, nor can you expect Romney (McCain Light) to have the wear with all to make the final run. Santorum looked like he was falling asleep on Greta the other night and I wonder if he has it in him to hold the line - let along fight back. Huntsman who? Rick Perry can't seem to find the script to make the whitty comeback - and let's be honest he's handicapped because he will get labeled another Bushie (even though the truth of the matter was in Texas he is the Anti-George W. Bush). Gingrich has the ability to refute this, if he can get the traction. He has the witty nature to strike back. And honestly, I am leaning his way right now. So keep that in mind as you reflect.

Ultimately, I think the best candidate will be the one that Karl Rove doesn't like. That should be the first distinction we look for. He is an insider and looking out for the establishment candidate - so there goes his boy Romney.
