After so many hours of media time spent on the Teddy Kennedy endorsement, did it really have an effect? Honestly? Clinton won Massachusetts despite having Kennedy, Kerry & the Governor on Obama’s side. Hispanic voters, whom the media told us would rise up because of the memory of Robert Kennedy and the warm place in their hearts for Ted, went overwhelmingly for Clinton. Meanwhile California despite not just Teddy and Caroline but Maria Shriver and the awesome power of Oprah still went to Clinton by a decisive vote. So, where was the power of the endorsement?

Not to be a wet blanket but, I told you so. The media needs to calm down. After many hours declaring “game over” because of these endorsements and after the media highlighting polls showing Obama would take California and NJ, while ignoring other polls and caveats that showed the opposite, I really think we need to start talking seriously about “bias” in this race and the misperceptions it is creating.
