Both Al Gore, and John Kerry’s campaign missed a golden opportunity with the press. They didn’t treat the press well, and they paid a price in coverage. The Press helped elect George Bush in 2000, and they stayed silent in 2004, which helped elect Bush again. In 2008 they helped Obama a lot. All I am saying is that the press plays a big role in our elections, and if I were running a campaign, I’d be feeding them hamburgers, and shakes, and would kiss they’re ### in every way possible. It couldn’t hurt.
