"Oh No--He's Lost Alter!"

Mickey Kaus spots an example of McCain “losing” the support of journalists whose support he never had in the first place. Mickey adds:

It might seem as if the MSM reaction against McCain’s shift to negativism has “driven the final nail into his coffin,” as Heilemann suggests. The Feiler Faster Thesis says no–given the speed with which the country now processes information, there’s plenty of time for several dramatic twists and turns, including lead changes. Obamaphiles (in the press and elsewhere) are deluding themselves, I think, if they think they can ride the economic crisis and the reaction against negativity to victory in a month. Plus Obama’s not that far ahead.

Which isn’t to say I disagree with Ace’s current grim tone, though.
