January 15, 201412 yr That explanation makes sense for his 08 victory but not his 12 victory. I think that goes back to, Obama marketed himself much better than Romney. While I think Romney did a good job with being Gov of Mass. and other endeavors he was involved with, he was just not an exciting guy so the low information voters went back with Obama even if their political views actually matched up closer to Obama. Why doesn't it make sense for the 12 victory? The media has been on his bandwagon the entire time and if they didn't support him they would be admitting they were wrong in the first place.
January 15, 201412 yr 2012 Obama 65.9 million votes Romney 60.9 332-206 in Electoral College 2008 Obama 69.5 million votes McCain 60 365-173 in Electoral College
January 15, 201412 yr I thought the media loved Christie when he was hugged up with Obama after the hurruicane. Now all of a sudden no love since he may be a threat to the old witch Hillary.
January 15, 201412 yr I thought the media loved Christie when he was hugged up with Obama after the hurruicane. Now all of a sudden no love since he may be a threat to the old witch Hillary. Now you're getting it.
January 15, 201412 yr I thought the media loved Christie when he was hugged up with Obama after the hurruicane. Now all of a sudden no love since he may be a threat to the old witch Hillary. How does the media covering this story make them anti-Christie?
January 15, 201412 yr I thought the media loved Christie when he was hugged up with Obama after the hurruicane. Now all of a sudden no love since he may be a threat to the old witch Hillary. The media also loved John McCain when he was a thorn in GWB's side and turned on him when he challenged the chosen one.
January 15, 201412 yr How does the media covering this story make them anti-Christie? It's the way and amount of coverage.
January 15, 201412 yr It's the way and amount of coverage. I guess I haven't watched it closely. My argument for the coverage would be a)it's the down season for presidential elections b)it's one of the supposed leaders for the R primary and c)it's NY/NJ.
January 15, 201412 yr I guess I haven't watched it closely. My argument for the coverage would be a)it's the down season for presidential elections b)it's one of the supposed leaders for the R primary and c)it's NY/NJ. The problem isn't the coverage , it's the type of coverage. A lot of media people are trying to link Christie to the decision without any evidence that he made the decision. A little wink wink and a nod , I mean we're not saying but we are saying type deal. Where as with scandals in the Obama adminstration they covered them but refused to blame Obama unless there was a smoking gun. Like I said if I was taking an educated guess Christie probably had some sort of idea of what was going on. But without evidence he did it is improper for any respectable media member to make that jump.

January 16, 201412 yr Honestly, I can't remember which scandal gave way to the impeachment talk. I just know that I read something about misuse of funds. New Jersey Assembly announces special Bridgegate investigation committee as Christie's problems pile up - NY Daily News Oops: That ?Federal Investigation? of Christie?s Sandy Recovery Ads Was Just a Routine HUD Audit | Mediaite It looks like the Democrat congressman who started the rumor of a Sandy funds investigation was incorrect. There is no investigation on Christie on this issue.
January 16, 201412 yr You want to know why I think he won those 2 elections? It had more to do with the media than anything else. I believe he won because the media and the people involved in the media etc. wanted to be a part of history so they pushed their agenda in wanting to be a part of history where the first black president is elected. That alone meant more than anything else to the talking heads who so badly wanted to be a part of history that they let everything else that mattered such as policy etc. fall to the wayside. I think the wanting to be part of history of electing the first black president doesn't make sense for 2012 because the glow of getting the first black president was already met in 2008 and had died off by 2012. Not that he still isn't the media darling but the who electing the first black president part had warn off.
January 16, 201412 yr But how bad would it have looked if the historical president would have been a 1 termer? The media wasn't going to let that happen.
January 16, 201412 yr How does the media covering this story make them anti-Christie? It isnt a story. A bridge had lanes closed. WOW. Hillary has a hit list, go cover that for a few weeks. Have them go cover and dig for the truth in teh IRS and Bengahzi story, I think they are afraid to due to reprucusions from the King.
January 16, 201412 yr But how bad would it have looked if the historical president would have been a 1 termer? The media wasn't going to let that happen. There is some truth to that.
