Well I've seen these mainstream media folks up close and personal, and they sure don't seem to be very receptive to Barack Obama or the Obama campaign, more like openly hostile, viewing him as a threat and a spoiler to the Democrats/Hillary's acquisition of the White House.

And I've also seen and talked to a number of Iowa voters and caucus goers personally, in regards to who they support, and who they'll be caucusing for, and in my experiences last Saturday, Hillary seems to be the choice of those who are voting out of fear.  Fear that Hillary Clinton herself and her campaign have been pushing from day one, and continue to push today in her statements and campaign ads that seek to promote and expand a climate of fear across this country.

I wonder how she feels about increasing her lead through the use of the Republicans favorite tactic.  The worst part is that it wasn't necessary, this promotion of fear in the electorate, she and her campaign advisers have done it for no other reason than to increase their lead.  I for one am glad to see that it's backfiring, and coming back to bite them, and may cost them Iowa and perhaps other states in the race for the nomination, because that's what they deserve for helping to create and promote an ugly climate of paranoia and defeatism in the US.

Americans have had a belly-full of fear, and we don't like it, we're sick of it.  What we need is positive energy, and a leader that will show us the way to a new future where we can banish irrational fear and put the boogie man back in the closet, where he belongs.

Hillary and her campaign are pandering to the worst impulses of human society, and if she becomes president, I have little doubt she will continue to promote this environment, while she keeps this country on the course that the Republicans have set for it, as opposed to putting us back on the path of reason and hope.
