Obama holds an enormous advantage over John McCain. His poise, intelligence, and charisma are undeniable, but modern politics has been able to elevate the trivial to unheard of heights.

Obama is being described as unelectable, as incapable of connecting with working class voters, and as someone who might be uncomfortable with patriotism. Obama is being defined by others. It's time for him to do the defining.

The Latest Proof that the Karl Rove Playbook Has Become the MSM's Bible

Arianna Huffington

The mainstream media seems intent on confirming that it has so internalized the Right's framing and messages they have now become part of its DNA. The first of the latest round of exhibits proving this was offered into evidence during last week's ABC debate. This was followed by the New York Times' epic revelation of the unseemly complicity between the Pentagon and the media in delivering the Bush administration's talking points on Iraq via "a kind of Trojan media horse" -- Pentagon-approved, prepped, and financially-enriched "military analysts" dutifully parroting the Bush party line, with nary a raised eyebrow from the TV stations and newspapers offering these highly-decorated sock puppets their prestigious platforms. And it's not just the media. Witness Hillary Clinton repeating the Rove-promoted lie that MoveOn was against intervention in Afghanistan after 9/11.

Gibson and Stephanopoulos focused mainly on trivial issues as Clinton and Obama faced off in Philadelphia. They, and their network, should hang their collective heads in shame.
