Don't count Rev Al Sharpton out yet. He is the leading nominee to grab the democrap ticket. He will make those other candidates cry in the South Carolina primaries.

mr. bill and his dem team never understood and still don't understand what the internet means to truth. ny times vacant liberal minded leftloons are all technology or process ignoramuses. "I think that much of the jaded attitude that many people now have toward the press is the result of knowing stories first hand. This used to be a rare phenomenon. But because of cable news and the Internet, it is now common for many people to have seen stories first-hand or to have read the primary source material upon which the story is based. Therefore, they are able to judge for themselves whether a story is accurate or not, or whether it has a bias that would otherwise be unknown. This phenomenon first hit me when I went to work in Congress in the mid-1970s. For the first time, I was routinely able to read stories in papers like the New York Times about events that I had witnessed. The juxtaposition between what I knew to be the case and the often-distorted picture I read in the paper was a real eye-opener. But in those days, there was nothing one could do about it. Today it is different. One can easily post documents, pictures, audio, and video on the web so that people can find for themselves what the true facts are, without having to take the word of a reporter at the New York Times. Just recently, a friend of mine who was viciously maligned by an old girlfriend - whose lies were widely repeated in the Washington Post and elsewhere - was able to clear his name by posting documents on the web. Even one of his political enemies was forced to admit that the accusations were false, as much as he wished they were true in order to discredit my friend. " nationalreview.com
