Indeed, both John Kerry and Al Gore also suffered "rampant and blatant media bias and disrespect" during their campaigns and since. What has been different for Hillary Clinton in this campaign cycle has been the fact that she's also been victim sexist attacks. One of the reasons why I got involved Clinton's campaign was the media attacks and bias. Having worked for Kerry's campaign in '04, it was quite clear to me that Hillary Clinton was being treated much worse than Obama by the press. Now, with the general election going into full swing we will see a lot of "rampant and blatant media bias and disrespect" towards Obama. So my point is, that Clinton supporters need to get that we should all be mad about the media coverage our candidates receive and work together in demanding fairer coverage for Democratic candidates.

Call it a hunch, or whatever but I haven't been wrong in years about this. The Obama supporters have underestimated the anger of clinton supporters not about him winning but about the process and the disrespect we all received for just backing her. They are angry at being called uneducated racists just for not backing Barack Obama. They are upset at the fact that hillary clinton won the popular vote. They are upset because of the rampant and blatant media bias and disrespect toward the senator. Everyone may think that they are being sore losers, but they are not, they have legitimate reasons to be upset .

I THINK WE COULD HAVE A LANDSLIDE ELECTION WITH: BARACK OBAMA / BILL CLINTON ticket. Bill changed America once and would be a great asset to Obama's change plans! Who agrees???
