The Drudge Report is carrying a banner headline today that reads: CNN Poll: Clinton or Obama would Beat any Republican. When you consider the pollster's recent stellar performance in New Hampshire, it stretches the imagination to give much credence to such a claim. Long referred to as the Clinton News Network, one would suppose to distinguish them from the Clinton Newsletter, aka the New York Times, they now make the claim that ANY Republican would be defeated by either of their socialist favorites.
ANY, you might assume would include all of the Republican candidates, but you'd be wrong. It seems that CNN has come to the conclusion that Thompson is either not running or is not a Republican. What was the criteria for this poll? Only candidates with double digit poll numbers unless they are a Conservative? The MSM is bouncing from pillar to post trying to pick the Republican candidate they believe can be beaten in November. Right now, "Amnesty" John is their RINO of choice, so was Rudy, Mitt, and Huckleberry.
There is a clear message here, it is a message of omission! The MSM is working overtime to keep Republicans ping-ponging from one candidate to another while doing their level best to make sure nobody looks at the only real conservative in this race, Fred Thompson.
