I'd have to say the democratic party is still probably better at getting their message to the mainstream media. Though the gap as closed significantly through the mainstream media. The Republican party does a very good job at getting the message to the mainstream media. Part of that has to do with the conservatives hammering the mainstream media as being liberal biased for long enough, that the mainstream media has had to start looking for conservative; republican journalists and others. Whether that's true or not, to a certain extent there was some truth to that. Whether it was over blown or not. It probably was over blown too. The Republican party has been able to make significant strides. The George W. Bush administration has been less media savvy than many than definitely the Reagan administration. I'd have to say that edge still goes to the Democratic at this moment in time.
