May be the last election network "media stars" will be covering. One can hope.

The press is not helping Obama by over-pimping him. If they think independents don’t notice, they’re wrong. The thing is, Obama seems like a likeable enough guy. But folks are starting to say he seems to think “too well” of himself, and not a little of that impression is caused by the press swooning and tingling over him and acting like he is barely mortal. When the press’ favoritism (and extreme ardor) is this overt, that has a tendency to put a bad taste in the mouths of people who were tuning in and hoping for something more substantive than “Evening Rockin’ News With How’d-He-Get-So Great Obama 24/7!” I fervently hope she's right about this. I'm praying for another election where the great unwashed of flyover country discombobulate the bien-pensants of the coastal regions - again.
