Even a broken clock is right twice a day. The Tribune is the more conservative of Chicago's papers (the Sun-Times is the liberal paper), but it isn't as conservative as, say, the NY Post. Regardless, it's still one of two of Obama's hometown papers, and this has to sting.
BTW, if the blogosphere is "openly biased", what does that make the NY Times, Washington Post, ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN and MSNBC?--Odysseus

You just lumped a lot of names into one category. The NY Times is nowhere near as biased as MSNBC.

Well, now, the article wasn't all that conservative; it suggested replacing Obama with Hillary.
As it happens, there is someone at hand who fits this description: Hillary Clinton. Her husband presided over a boom, she's been busy deposing dictators instead of destroying jobs, and she's never been accused of being a pushover.

Colonel, could you look at my post on page one and give me an assessment? Am I wrong?
If so, what's your view?

I think that he will, if for no other reason than no other Democrat will take the chance. There are three possible scenarios to this: Obama defeats a primary challenger, but is so damaged that he limps into the general election and gets clobbered. Obama is defeated by a primary challenger, who then has to explain to black voters why he/she took the nomination away from the first black president, and why they should still vote Democratic, which would mean that the Dems would go into the general election with about 20% of their base absent, which would translate to an epic defeat. The third, and least likely, is that a leftward challenge makes it possible for Obama to tack to the center and BS enough voters into thinking that he's not as far left as his rivals, and he manages to eke out a win, but that's highly unlikely. Obama can't win the primaries as a centrist, as the Democratic base is too radicalized. Perry, Bachmann or pretty much any other conservative could beat Obama in the general election. The tricky part is when you get a RINO like Romney or Huntsman who turns off the base getting the nomination. If that happens, it's a much tougher road to the White House, and much less good will come of a Republican victory.
You're kidding, right? The NY Times OPED pages features Frank Rich, Paul Krugman and a host of other loons who are just as far to the left as the MSNBC talking heads, and the news reported by the Times is so slanted that if you don't brace yourself to the right when you read it, you'll fall over. It's hard to find a paper that is more biased, and less willing to admit it, than the Times.--Odysseus

I left out Pawlenty. The guy seems to be a cipher, a non entity.
Would he run ? Yes? No?

:eek: you're joking right? NYT is probably worse than PMSNBC, only cuz they've done it longer
As for Chicago media, the Tribune is MORE conservative than the Sun-Times, but not by much. About the only big media outlet that IS Conservative is 890AM WLS, very little liberal talk on there."Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings..."
