Is There a Two-Party Presidential Primary This Year?
Admittedly, I’m sick of hearing presidential candidates this far from the first primary, but as I scan the news I’m beginning to wonder if the only people running are Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, with John Edwards as a trailing third.
Otherwise I’ve heard about McCain complaining the press isn’t as nice to him as it once was (they never are) and occasionally something critical of Rudy Giuliani, but I haven’t heard nearly as much from the political Right as I have from the political Left.
I assume all candidates from both parties are running just as hard so why are we not being informed of substantive issues other than the Iraq war (we know where all the candidates stand on this issue) taken by the various candidates of each party?
People complain when those of us on the Right say the media is prejudiced against us and they deny it, but check out any major newspaper (not the political blogs or definite left or right on-line sites) and tell me about which candidates you are reading the most.
Check the NY Times, LA Times, Washington Post, the Chicago papers, the Boston papers and tell me if you see a story about one of the so-called major Republican candidates talking about his positions on anything other than the Iraq war. Heck, you can even include the Iraq war in it.
Then tell me how many stories you have seen about Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and John Edwards, to a certain extent, addressing adoring crowds of people all over the country.
Am I missing something here or do we have just one party running for president next year? Just asking.
