Since Hillary Clinton's gaffe over drivers' licenses for illegal immigrants at the October 30th MSNBC debate, the mainstream media has followed and reported on the polls in Iowa and New Hampshire very closely, chronicling the simultaneous rise and fall of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton respectively.
In recent weeks, polls indicate that Senator Obama has closed the gap, and certain polls even give him the advantage in Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina. However, just as Senator Obama took the lead in these states, reporting on the polls in these locations, by the same institutions who had been following the race so closely, has gone silent.
I make no pretense of or apology for my support of Senator Obama. I just find it curious that the media has gone quiet at this critical time in the Democratic campaign. The cynic in me wants to suggest that it's the mainstream media trying to take the wind out of the upstart Obama's sails, and help their "chosen one" before he can do any more damage to her air of inevitability. Then again, it could just be the media adjusting to this unforseen turn of events.
Either way, I want to know how things are going. Has Obama's rise in the polls continued, or has he stalled? What are some good, unbiased sites that will provide the unvarnished truth on this race?
