And the press are "infracanineophiles," which as my high school English teacher delighted in emphasizing is Latin for people who root for the underdog. When McCain was the perceived underdog against Romney on 2008 or Bush in 2000, there was absolutely nothing wrong he could do. Bush, particularly in South Carolina, was the big, bad guy. But now McCain is the presumptive nominee, he couldn’t get positive ink if he danced an Irish jig on his fingertips.

Obama, on the other hand, can do no wrong. He walks on water. He is JFK and MLK all wrapped up one. Just look at how the press covers his fund raising success. Despite a sizable dip in the April numbers, the press spin remains that he’s far superior to McCain (despite McCain having his best month ever). And when the RNC reports it had the best "one month" in over two years, the press portrays it by expressing pity on the impoverished DNC "David" having to fight so hard against the Goliath RNC.

Even when it comes to the Internet, Democrats, MoveOn and ActBlue get all the limelight, while the GOP success is kept in the dark. Do you see any mention of GOP onDemand? Not even the national Republican blogs picked up the news. The Washington Post told us, in effect, go jump in lake — that GOP onDemand not only rivals, but is far superior to MoveOn, is of no consequence. It threatens their apparently preordained conclusion Obama will dominate the Election. In fact, I’m beginning to think to why bother to hold an election in the first place. The national news media has already cast its vote. Who are we, the voters, to get in the way?

So what happens if and when major House Democrats are indicted in Pennsylvania? Will it impact Obama? Will the voters become upset at the Ds as they are now upset at the Rs.

I predict what will happen in 2008 will be the same as in 2006. The local press throughout Pennsylvania, from Pittsburgh throughout the central portion of the state will hammer home Bonusgate, just as they did about the Pay Raise scandal. But the Philadelphia press, which this week sent a TV "reporter" to do a live story in Hollywood shot on who won Dancing with the Stars or American Idol or My Favorite Moose or some other silly "reality" show, will downplay the story, buried deep inside the Op-Ed page. The majority of Pennsylvania’s voters who reside in the Philadelphia media market will not be aware of the tempest sweeping across the balance of the state. All they will see is Obama’s coronation, the well-deserved triumph over the big bad Bush bogey-man.

It is deja vu, all over again.
