What was that John Heilemann was saying in New York magazine about the McCain campaign turning into the Clinton campaign?
The press is fetching pillows for Obama! the McCain campaign seems to be saying (also: We Want You, Anti-Chris-Matthews voters!) with this new video called “Obama Love” and featuring, among others, Matthews’ infamous “thrill up my leg” clip.

Tue 22 Jul 2008 06:35 PMObviously the press is bending over backward to undo their efforts to demonize Gore and make Bush seem like a legitimate candidate back in 2000, undoubtedly feeling guilty about the 100s of thousands of innocen, dead Iraqis.
Joe Scarborough is definitely not pro-Obama, and I don't think Tucker Carlson is, either.
Plus, if you look at my blog right now (Right Now!) you'll see I have the charts that show giving McCain credit for reduced violence in Iraq is nearly a complete fraud, and yet every media outlet is saying just that, the current, central plank of the McCain campaign.
