48% said they are hearing too much about Obama

"If Obama hasn't got past 50% by now it is unlikely that he can."

and the same goes for mccain. but then, it could be taken a step further and said that if mccain hasn't surpassed obama by now, then it's unlikely that he can. that said, i don't believe that either candidate is defined by their current polling numbers, yet. there's a long time between now and when we pull the lever as election days go.

I, too, would love to hear more about McCain's policies. He does have some, doesn't he?

Besides, half the "fatigue" over Obama's extensive coverage is due to the right-wing media blogging incessantly about him (and his alleged faults) while simultaneously ignoring McCain and his (obvious) faults.

We were, after all, treated to about 6 week's of intensive coverage - not of Obama, but of Obama's pastor. Can anyone here even name McCain's pastor (without googling it) or even one quote from his pulpit? No, I thought not. The right-wing blogosphere must share the blame for any over-reporting on Obama.

I'm sure (at least I hope) someone (with far more patience than I) could actually count the number of posts on Obama vs on McCain in the Crunchy Con/Reformed Chick babbling/God-o-rama/Waldman continuum and then have those bloggistes ask themselves why the Obama overload.

I could lend a mirror if they cared to actually look at what they themselves have done.

P.S. Of course there's a historic amount of coverage. It is a historic event. Never before in the history of America has a black man been a Presidential nominee. The amount of coverage should be monumental. Maybe McCain (and his supporters) are simply jealous. An old, white man running (well, walking, anyway) is simply not news.
