McCain communications director Jill Hazelbaker says they are just having a little fun. "It's done with a light touch, especially this week, when it's at its height," she says, referring to the Obama trip coverage. The Project for Excellence in Journalism, in a report today, says that in the six weeks since Clinton left the race, "Obama has appeared as a leading newsmaker in 78 percent of election stories, and McCain in 51 percent." The study covers both print and electronic coverage. The two McCain videos are similar, punctuated by heart images and such music as the Four Seasons singing "You're just too good to be true, can't take my eyes off of you." MSNBC's Chris Matthews is the biggest star, beginning with his reaction to an Obama speech during the primaries: "I felt this thrill running up my leg."

You know, 9 or 6 months ago I remember thinking, "the first person who starts acting like a President will win." Democrat or Republican, Americans are just fed up with a lack of leadership at the helm. Obama's tour, with all it's little annoyances, is brilliant, IMO. Not only do people need to see that he can act like a President, but they need to be reminded of how a President acts!
This sounds about right:
FP:All Obama, all the time
John McCain is having trouble attracting media attention for his New Hampshire tour: In Manchester last night, there was just one reporter and one photographer waiting for McCain as his plane -- a white, blue and gold Boeing 737-400 emblazoned with his campaign slogan, "Reform, Prosperity, Peace" -- touched down on the Wiggins Airways tarmac. Also worth noting: Getty Images hasn't posted a photograph of the Arizona senator since Sunday. During that time, Getty has posted roughly 40 photos of Obama, depending on how you count.

"It's the frame, stupid". Not you, PL, aspiring politicians. You can't be me, I'm taken
Not only do people need to see that he can act like a President, but they need to be reminded of how a President acts!
Bingo again.
(Although I worry slightly about that 'act' word.)
