Newly minted media darling Campbell Brown, the host of CNN's Election Center, is moving quickly to establish her "Cutting Through the Bull" brand of campaign coverage. Brown has been praised, and attacked, for calling out Obama and McCain and their surrogates for total douche moves. Last night was no different, when she addressed the issue of race baiting.
