Old Tricks

You can already see it happening with the Rand/Grayson battle. The mainstream media is getting behind, or at least giving more attention to, the Republican that is the least likely to win in the general election (Rand). We saw this with McCain. There were Republicans that would have been much better candidates against Obama and the mainstream media got behind McCain for that very reason. It is a clever strategy and you have to give them credit for it.

Generally, in a Republican primary you never want to support the candidate that the mainstream media likes best. Keep this in mind if you are having any questions about who to support in this year's Republican senate primary.
