>McCain and his advisers realized the only way they could get TV attention was by talking about the subject that interested reporters most: Barack Obama.

Very interesting. Obama is forced defend himself and fight back. Doing that he ends up losing some of his "magic", and becomes just another human politician - one with an obviously weak resume.


Ironic, isn't it? Obama would now like to herd the media away from its 24/7 fixation on him, but he can't. The Democrats had fully intended to run the election as a referendum on Bush & the Republicans, with McCain pegged as Bush Term 3. Now it's become a referendum on Barack Obama.
