Umm Obama is making news. That’s why he’s getting tons of coverage. He’s the first major party african american candidate for president and he’s going on a world tour. That’s pretty big fucking news. McCain has been running for president for 9 years now, and has been a media darling the entire time. Notice how CBS covers a major gaff for him, his al queda/iran training gaff never got picked up, etc… etc… PS - Glenn Beck is a fucking blowhard PPS - Ron Paul is an economic dinosaur. He’d cripple the US to the point where we’d have to become a self-contained nation, our entire economy would have to change to support it. You think getting rich is hard now? We’d be some sort of “capitalist” version of North Korea w/ Ron Paul in charge. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/official-2008-election-thread/41192)._
