listen and reading the news weeks ago that Senator Clinton has the white house due to her poll numbers. now, we read the Obama is now ahead in the polls in Iowa, same media folks (some) are puzzled and questioning the numbers. I think that the media is slanted towards Senator Clinton. Do you agree?

The corporate media is totally slanted toward Hillary Clinton and Rudy Giuliani. Just watch the "debate" questions.

I absolutely do not agree. Senator Obama is ahead in just one poll, Iowa. He is going to have win in more than just Iowa to win the nomination.
The media is slanted toward Senator Clinton but not in a good way. They focus more on all the hyperbolic attacks of Senator Clinton by John Edwards and Senator Obama than they do on what she is proposing to bring to the table.
Fox News on the other hand is giving Giuliani far more positive coverage than any of the other republican candidates.

Yes, if the media really wanted to make this a horse race, they'd be talking a lot about the candidates who were coming on strong, moving up fast, or leading by a nose. However, except for a brief time after the late October debate, the media has emphasized Hillary's lead in the polls and has rarely discussed any dynamics in the standings. It reminds me of the coverage of George W Bush in 1999 and 2000, and I think family political connections have a lot to do with this type of media slant.

Senator Obama is slightly ahead in Iowa with John Edwards and Senator Clinton on his tail. A large portion of Edwards support will go to Clinton giving her Iowa.
It is not "media slant" it is Hillary's brilliant campaign.

Yes - but I think the people agree that Clinton has a better chance because of it...
You really can't put too much stock in the media - they have advertisers that they are beholden to.
It's really best to listen to the debates, visit the candidates websites and make the best decision for yourself...
And remember... Gore won the popular vote and lost the election by just a few collegiates... so ANYTHING can happen, regardless of what the news channels are saying.

100%
Yes, I do. The favoritism shown Hillary was obvious during the last debate
We should all write CNN and tell them to cut it out and let us chose our president.

I don't think a girl should be president because they always start off with the nagging and the drama.
