But its not the media, its the total disillusion with the bush admin that is at its core. McCain needs to be an anti-bush with better alternative poliices than obama for him to win. He has reason to take on bush going back to 2000. McCain has pulled far ahead of Obama on policy issues -- he has offered realistic proposals for the energy crisis, he obviously has a much better grip on the situation in Iraq and terrorism altogether. Obama, when one looks carefully, has really not presented serious policy positions, preferring instead to inundate the swooning masses with slogans "Yes we can", "Healthcare for everyone", "Tax the wealthy and cut taxes for the middle class", etc. McCain is talking about serious policy, whether or not you agree with him, and Obama is just giving us advertising hype which is incredibly weak on policy. That may win the election, but I think even the media will start to ask for something more substantive before it is over and I"m not sure whether Obama can deliver it or not. He has definitely received a pass from the MSM thus far.

Obama is running away from any kind of matchup on the facts with McCain -- as one would expect, because McCain will clearly cream him in any environment not controlled by offstage speechwriters. Obama followers are under the influence of a very strong charismatic, and those people are unwilling to see the facts. Obama's flip-flopping goes totally unnoticed amongst his supporters (although, he apparently is taking some heat for the flip flop on FISA, I get no sense he might actually lose any votes over it), and his glaring lack of experience is without consequence. You are as delusional about Obama as is inoys. Because Obama is charismatic, you and inoys ASSUME that we are all sheep. That would be wrong and that's why McCain is going to lose the election.
