Lose the Presidency?" from CNN. Thanks to YAHOO for sharing that. Now where are the similar articles about McSame? http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080806/ap_on_el_pr/poll_obama_overexposure Editing to add: I visited YAHOO's editorials & opinions page too. Not a lot of great stuff for Obama there either: http://news.yahoo.com/fc/US/2008_Presidential_Election/oped/1;_ylt=AmxgwbFU7CXXuytfT9kGxdFsnwcF

1. It's not Obama's fault the media talks about him |
|
I don't think voters will hold it against him... clearly his message resonates.

4. He's running a historical campaign |
|
Unfortunately, the coverage of Obama has become increasingly more speculative (i.e. Could Obama.....? or Why can't Obama......?) not to mention the fact that they seem to be spending much of their time furiously spinning the news every which way in order to help protect Bush/McSame, which seems to me to be an indication that they are desperate and running out of legitimate NEWS stories to report. Maybe? :shrug:

3. I wouldn't mind more media coverage of McCain |
|
Not only is he really his own worst enemy but he really deserves WAY more SCRUTINY than he has gotten so far from the so-called MSM (aka "base").

6. Good point - the yahoo article had a comment, |
|
"Even more Democrats said they wanted to hear about McCain". That's how I would've responded: The old guy's imploding at a spectacular rate, and it seems like we're the only ones seeing it sometimes.
I use yahoo for my personal e-mail and I have to say their "news" mostly reads like a steady stream of McCrank propaganda. I'm not impressed at all.

5. We ARE hearing too much of Obama defending himself. We should spend a lot more |
|
time talking about the misdeeds of the last 7 years and about deficits, taking dollar, Tom Delay, Cunningham, Abramoff, Plame, Hastert, Libby, August 6 PDB, record oil profits, abuse of science, Katrina, mission accomplished, etc etc etc....

7. The only reason they report on Obama is because the more people hear about McCain's proposals |
|
the less they want to vote for him.
