Picture of the Day - 2
Apparently, it's Mitt Romney week. The coverstory of Time Magazine, 60 Minutes, prominent articles everywhere, NYTimes, AP..... I guess $26 million does buy you something when you're at single digits in the polls.

(PS. I recognize that most of the articles are challenging the Republican candidates, but has anyone else noticed how many more headlines are going to the Repub candidates than the Dems?)

Yup, the biggest media blackout was over the Dem debate. Practically no coverage while the GOP debate had lots of coverage and commentary on all MSM outlets.
Also what's up with the MSM blackout on Ron Paul?

I have a working theory that the Repubs are getting the coverage because the flawed leading candidates have the sorts of weaknesses and tensions that the media usually like to cover in Dems.
And, I like Ron Paul, not for his politics, but for his honesty, but after watching him for years I gotta say that that debate was about the most normal I've ever seen him appear.
Again, I like his honesty, but the guy will invariably say something just shocking.
