I believe the results here will be split along party lines. The media helped deliver the result that Democrats desired, so it wont be measured as a fail.
Now if the question is slated as the media doing their job, then I would measure it as an epic fail.
The sig says it all.

Re: How Obama Got Elected
The American news is FUBAR for the most part.
As I've seaid before, I believe we have more news bandwidth than we have news to fill it. The result is that media outlets have to create news to fill the bandwidth. Americans lose in the process. IMO the biggest casualty is a loss of the ability to prioritize issues. Americans have been hearing so much noise for so long that they are starting to believe that every bit of news is equally important.
Conservative tools are the biggest victims. They are afraid of more shit than Carter's got liver pills.

Re: How Obama Got Elected
American's over the age of 55 helped Obama get elected, yes there was a huge turn out for the first time in history with african americans and other minorities but in the long run that did help not allowing gay marriage in the bills that were also attached on several states on election ballots.
Plus I have come to realize that everyone is sick of the Bush Administration as a whole, and it is unfortunate that McCain's PR team was in the end the worst PR team ever. I like McCain, I voted for McCain but the entire Bush Administration ruined it, as well as the economic of the nation in the past year.
It will be interesting, I hope my parents taxes don't go up that much, i hope i still have a job in Feb, and I hope that the terrorists don't decide to attack the US again.

Re: How Obama Got Elected
whatever. That Zogby poll nonsense is going to be in all elections on BOTH sides. Idiots vote for people for idiotic reasons be it democrats or republicans.
Obama got elected because a large number of people are tired of the republicans. They (repblicans) put forth an real snoozer of a candidate with a dubious conservative track record, and topped it off with a bleach blond airhead.
Maybe the media helped obama but the relative closeness of the results with such a pathetic candidate indicates that regardless of the medias involvement the republicans could have taken this election with a better quality ticket.
