They're Still Underdogs! Really!

Which world do they live in?:

"The Republican Party is following up record fund raising for President Bush's re-election effort by asking donors to finance its efforts to get Bush's message 'past the liberal media filter' to the public."

I'm amazed - these guys still have themselves convinced that the media is liberal and out to get them. Of course, the media has never been the aggressive watch-dog they like to pretend they are, but no President has gotten an easier ride from the corporate media. He lies his way into Iraq without serious challenge and his re-election campaign somehow turns into a referendum on the character of the challenger, more than the incumbent. Yes, life is hard as a Republican in Washington these days.
