If influential liberals such as Dowd suddenly have no problem saying Obama appears to be in over his head, pretty soon everyone will be pointing out the obvious. Thus far, Obama's meteoric rise has been largely dependent on a press that went straight from beat sweeteners to beatification. If the press turns on the president, the Obama campaign may not know what to do.,

Not only will the campaign not know what to do, there literally isn't anything they CAN do. The media was solely responsible for electing Obama in '08 (meaning, without the media's unwavering support it could not have happened). The battle is more uphill now that he has a record to run on.

If the media abandon him, that's it. I suspect the loss of Dowd is a precursor to more defections. Dowd is trying to get out front of the onslaught to keep from looking like the idiot she is. This way, instead of being a last holdout, dead-ender, she looks like she was among the first to figure it all out.

Unless something really amazing happens this is going to be a 45 state landslide IMO.
