[...] Obama's a popular guy – so popular in fact that there aren't enough spots on his campaign plane for all the reporters who want to follow him. And so he booted the Washington Times, the New York Post and the Dallas Morning News. Unfortunately, they also happen to be the papers that endorsed McCain. “Though all three papers have recently endorsed John McCain, an Obama aide points out that they still have seats for the Wall Street Journal, Fox News and Fox News Radio (okay, neither Fox News or Fox News Radio to my knowledge have endorsed McCain but the point is perceived bias),” writes Time.com's Jay Newton-Small.

sgwhiteinfla,

I don't think Joe Klein will be flying with McCain anytime soon after he has been so forthcoming in describing McCain's train wreck of a campaign.

Where have all of the trolls gone? I almost miss their mindless verbal @ssaults and alternate realities. It must be tough on them to know that their guy is going to lose and the Republican Party has imploded. I love it.

"Scherer tells me that the McCain campaign has added a second plane to handle the increased demand in the final days."

Oh, that means Joe Klein is now back on McCain's plane?

Didn't think so.
