Poor baaaaaaaabyyyyy....
It didn't seem like Tim Russert was throwing softballs at Barack Obama when he repeatedly pressed him on Louis Farrakhan and his minister. Hillary is really barking up the wrong tree by trying to run "against" the media in this campaign. That may be a good strategy in a general election campaign but in a Democratic primary it's enormously counter-productive.
After all, the media are almost all Democrats and they have to be persuaded just like everyone else who votes in Democratic Party primaries. Demonizing them is going to get you nothing but even more negative and biased coverage.
Not that it makes much difference at this point anyway. Hillary's campaign is ingloriously imploding and it should be buried by this time next week after Ohio and Texas. As I said before, Hillary is the new Huckabee; she just hasn't figured it out yet.

Larkin, I can see Hillary now in a major crisis at a summit press conference with a world leader, let's say Putin, complaining straight of the top that isn't fair that she always gets the first question.
I really think she has met her match with Obama, and this why she appeared so peevish and petulant. But this how we all knew she would react when facing real pressure, a campaign in the throes of long losing streak, whereas Obama reacts very calmly, as he did even when he was down in the polls. Through his entire adult life has always struck people with a maturity beyond his years. Read 'In the Democratic Debate, Cooler Heads Prevail'

That's a good review of the debate by Tom Shales.
I especially like the point he makes about how you would rather be listening to for the next 4 years. That one pretty much seals the deal for Obama.

Your insistence on comparing Hillary Clinton and Mike Huckabee is revolting. They are polar opposites on just about every issue and this greatly overshadows any "similarity" in their both hanging on in their campaigns. One final difference between them... Huckabee's political career is far from over.
