If he said anything controversial would the media cover it up in order to make sure he wouldn't be seriously hurt by the fallout?

Anyone is capable of doing or saying something, and one does not have to rely on the media to cover anything up. The advent of Youtube attests to that fact. The macaca story that ultimately sank George Allen burst unto the scene because of Youtube, the main stream media picked up on it afterwards

Yes. And Hillary Clinton will ensure the media reports everything.

No, because his campaign itself is controversy. I think he should go all out and go for the gusto, hit the hard line issues and make some sense. For instance, if they legalized MJ conservitevely one could generate 17.7 Billion for education first year and 100 Billion for farmers. He should back that.

He's already referred to soldiers dying in Iraq as "wasting" their lives. He took a little hit, apologized and now seems to be forgiven already. The press may not do much to him, but Hillary will.

I don't think Hillary will. She would be only hurting herself by critizing him. The one person that could seriously hurt Obama's presidential run would be Edwards.

Of course, how many times have "invincible" candidates botch the whole thing with a stupid comment?
