Something Amazing

Something truly amazing just happened. One of the talking heads on TV just praised Barack Obama. Imagine that three days into the Convention and someone is praising him for his political force. Acknowledging he won as the best candidate. Not the best black candidate. Just the best candidate. Now this commentator could have gone farther and acknowledge that this candidate actually beat Hillary Clinton. We can't expect too much, I guess.

This talking head wasn't speculating on Bill's speech, wondering if Hillary did enough, reviewing Hillary's speech. It is amazing. This talking head was Joe Scarborough of all people. But it doesn't matter because the whole of the media has set the focus and the narrative. It seems that they have forgotten the Barack Obama won. He defeated the the best known, best funded candidate to ever run for President.
