I was browsing the internet and came across an article (the first) and one thing led to another. this is an excelant example of hearing what the media wants you to hear.
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton ridiculed rival Barack Obama as all talk and little substance on Wednesday, trying to slow the momentum that has given him 10 straight victories in the race for the party's U.S. presidential nomination.

WASHINGTON - The voices are growing louder asking the question: Is Barack Obama all style and little substance?
The freshman Illinois senator began his campaign facing the perception that he lacks the experience to be president, especially compared to rivals with decades of work on foreign and domestic policy. So far, he's done little to challenge it. He's delivered no policy speeches and provided few details about how he would lead the country.

This just brings more attention to the fact that that Barack Obama has had ten straight victories.
What will Hillary Clinton do now? That is the question coming out of Tuesday's big win in Wisconsin for Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL), where exit polls found he drew voters from the very ranks that supported Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) in prior primary and caucus states: women, white men, middle-aged voters and union households.
With 97 percent of precincts reporting, representing more than a million voters, Obama had 57 percent compared to 41 percent for Clinton. More notable than that solid margin of victory, which came after both candidates campaigned hard in Wisconsin, was the increasingly broad support that Obama appears to be generating.

While it tells of barrack obama winning his ninth straight in a row in Wisconsin it also brings up barrack obamas losses.
Wisconsin was the 9th contest Obama has won in a row. The exit polling also showed his support has been growing in key segments of the electorate since 2008's first primaries and caucuses. In New Hampshire, for example, Obama won 38 percent of the vote among white men. In Wisconsin, he won 62 percent. In New Hampshire, he won a third of voters age 50 to 60, while in Wisconsin he won more than half that group. And among people earning $30,000 to $50,000 a year, Obama also went from winning a third of those voters in New Hampshire to more than half in Wisconsin.
