There she blows!
According to the Media blog on NRO, Presidential hopeful Barack Obama has lost the mantle of the being the most covered blowhard on the planet. As of today, the number of Google News articles in the Obama category right now is 2,200. That’s a pittance compared to the number of stories being done on Tropical Storm Fay. Fay has garnered almost three times the coverage of Obama at 6,400. So, even though Obama is receiving three times the coverage of McCain, Fay outblows Obama big time.
And Fay is only destroying a region. A President Obama will harm the whole country.
I’m just wondering why Obama is allowing a tropical storm to steal his news coverage. I mean this is the guy who said, “This is the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal!” I’m just wondering why he doesn’t just stop the storm?
Well one thing I can be sure of is that I’m sure the McCain campaign wouldn’t be too sorry to see some more tropical storms during the Democratic National Convention.

Obama has been on vacation all week. The media will start writing about him again. It is insame for wither party’s nominee to talk about lack of coverage. It is a 2 party system. Both men will be covered way more than anyone wants.

Every media study indicates Obama has received tons of positve coverage while McCain coverage has been predominantly negative. That’s a fact which will continue to be a fact until well after election day.

You ought to hear Glen Beck’s “Headline Battle” on positive headlines for Obama and McCain. I think the MSM score is about 500 for Obama and 2 for McCain

Something tells me that the Dems are sensing defeat in the air and are in panic mode. Cannot wait for their Denver convention; it’s going to be seismic. Oh, and have you heard that that Archbishop Chaput of Denver was snubbed–unwelcome to address the Convention. Can you imagine? Guess they figure with Catholics like Pelosi, Kennedy, et al., on board, they can dispense with the likes of Archbishop Chaput.

Yes, well, didn’t Abp Chaput say it is immoral to vote for a pro-abortion candidate?
