I am still not convinced Obama will win this election. The fact he has spent hundreds of millions of dollars just to stay more or less even with McCain tells the entire story. There are still around ten percent of voters who are undecided, and they will swing this contest.

While I don't agree with a lot this writer says, especially about Dan Rather, he does make a few good points about the media's slanted coverage of Obama, who remains almost TOTALLY unvetted by them.
Malone:
If the current polls are correct, we are about to elect as president of the United States a man who is essentially a cipher, who has left almost no paper trail, seems to have few friends (that at least will talk) and has entire years missing out of his biography.
That isn't Sen. Obama's fault: His job is to put his best face forward. No, it is the traditional media's fault, for it alone (unlike the alternative media) has had the resources to cover this story properly, and has systematically refused to do so.
Why, for example to quote the lawyer for Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., haven't we seen an interview with Sen. Obama's grad school drug dealer -- when we know all about Mrs. McCain's addiction? Are Bill Ayers and Tony Rezko that hard to interview? All those phony voter registrations that hard to scrutinize? And why are Sen. Biden's endless gaffes almost always covered up, or rationalized, by the traditional media?
I contend there are two reasons for this. One is the media are afraid any criticism or critical reporting of Obama, no matter how truthful or how mild, will be construed as "racist." The other reason is because Obama is supposedly a "historical" candidate, the media want to be part of "history." Of course if Hillary Clinton had been the Democratic nominee, it still would have been "historic," but who in the media would give a shit about that? They would go after her as payback for her not kissing the Beltway Slut's ass. She certainly wouldn't have received the near-unanimous print media endorsements. Neither would Biden, if the ticket had been reversed.

(HT to Cannonfire for pointing out this article.)
Alexander Cockburn, who I have as much use for as tits on a boar and was one of the biggest liars who ever lived when it came to the Clintons, does tell the truth about "Democrat" Obama, and actually has the nerve to mention if it weren't for Obama's skin color, he would be thought of as just another second-tier mediocrity.
But to mention the obvious is "racist."
