Like what they have done for Obama, who do you think will media decide to become US President in 2012?

media absolutely dictated the election of their creation. will they choose Palin to become President in 2012? Or who do you think will they select for Americans?

    The liberal media followed Obama's trail during the campaign and failed miserably to investigate anything questionable. They got their candidate of choice elected and the "hands off" sign is still visible today and will be for 2012.

    I know that you watch Fox and definitely listen to Rush by the way you framed the question. You seem to find it impossible to believe that the American public could choose someone for themselves.

    While I do agree that the media does have some affect on public sentiment, you drastically underestimate the amount that the candidates control their own destiny. I think that you also fail to understand just how fed up with the Republican party that the citizenry really is. That was probably the biggest factor that won the election for Obama.

    I think that the RNC will definitely run Palin in 2016, and probably in 2012, but 2012 is Obama's to lose. The media will have less and less affect on the elections as the internet with it's independent bloggers and news sources become an even bigger part of peoples lives.

    Your assumptions reek of the Tamany Hall style politics of decades ago. The internet and the youth movement are making that style more and more obsolete with every passing year.

    "burn a rag..." - I assume that you are blaming Bush for the ruination of the Republican party? Or for the ruination of America in general. Both would be apt. I find it fitting that Bush was not even allowed at the RNC this year, a first for a sitting president! As for the U.S., it was designed to go down by those on Jekyll Island in the early 1900s. I recommend reading "Web of Debt" or watching Zeitgeist.

    I hope you realize that this is getting really old. The media does not choose a president. The fact that both Clinton and McCain ran almost identical totally ineffective campaigns had nothing to to with the media. It is pretty obvious that with the media controlled by Republicans, if they could have they would have made a Republican a winner. But just continue on with your delusion and you can expect the same result in 2012. In the mean time, however, give it a rest. This is getting very annoying!

    Romney, The Republicans have been making use of the "meant" goof-united statesand errors of their primaries and caucuses to make certain what tactics of rigging the vote interior the 28 states the place they administration the pollbox will slip decrease than the radar of the yank human beings. Republicans are no longer stupid or incompetent they proved that by making use of getting GW Bush into workplace and the 2010 sweep. So, for them to objective and declare Iowa, Nevada, Maine, Missouri, South Carolina and all the different states have been merely stupid errors would not convince me. Then by using fact the kicker seem heavily at Texas. i understand a gaggle of Texans who do vote, no longer considered one of them says they voted for Romney, yet he "gained" each and every district.

    Mr. Obama, unless he becomes a total oxygen thief, will be the darling of the nation in 2012...long after people learn to say, "Sarah who?"

    Next stop...2016. Try not to run losers next time.

    Funny, I remember the people voting, not the media.

    The media decided nothing.
