Political Communication blog

I found the fact that Obama praised Former President Reagan to be very interesting. In what could be an attempt to gain some moderate Republican votes, Senator Obama has been criticized by some Democrats about this endorsement of Reagan. To me this illustrates the strong power of the media. No matter what a candidate says, it can be made to sound positive or negative for or against that candidate. Based on the latest media coverage, it seems that the Reagan comment is turning into a negative for Senator Obama. What does everyone else think?
