A Love Interest
I haven't touched on the Presidential race in a while because... well... I'm not a huge fan of the GOP candidate, I loathe the Democratis candidate, and the thrid party candidates, for the most part, need lithium. However, there are a few interesting tidbits that caught my eye.
First, the McCain campaign has put together two videos about the media's love affair with Senator Obama. Both of them will make your stomach turn, but they're honest.
Second, an Obama aide made a gaffe today.
But, wait... looks like Senator Obama was good for a couple of gaffes of his own.
The NYT refused an op-ed by Senator McCain because it didn't "mirror" Senator Obama's op-ed that they published recently. (The Drudge link has the text of the op-ed, as submitted.)
The McCain campaign is right- the MSM is clearly in love with Senator Obama, and this field trip to the Middle East is just one example. Now the question is whether pointing it out will be seen as simply bring light onto the subject or whining. Anyone want to place a bet?
UPDATE: I missed this one (or maybe it happened after I posted this). Does Senator Obama know what committies he's on?

Second, an Obama aide made a gaffe today.
“It is not going to be a political speech,” said a senior foreign policy adviser, who spoke to reporters on background. “When the president of the United States goes and gives a speech, it is not a political speech or a political rally."Hey, I guess we should just be happy that it wasn't Obama, as usual. Memo to the aide... wait until the votes are counted, ok?
“But he is not president of the United States,” a reporter reminded the adviser.
But, wait... looks like Senator Obama was good for a couple of gaffes of his own.
Will either of those show up in the MSM on the nightly news? Uh... no. None of his gaffes end up where the sheeple will read about them. But they're sure to point every misstep Senator McCain makes.
- "You know, it's always a bad practice to say 'always' or 'never.'" — Obama, speaking in Amman today.
- "Let me be absolutely clear," Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, said today at a press conference in Amman, Jordan. "Israel is a strong friend of Israel's."
