If you are talking to me, Preston, yes he has, but it pales in comparison with B-HO's water boys.

Voters have little doubt as to who is benefitting from the media coverage this year—Barack Obama. Fifty-four percent (54%) say Obama has gotten the best coverage so far. Twenty-two percent (22%) say McCain has received the most favorable coverage while 14% say that Hillary got the best treatment. At the other extreme, 43% say Clinton received the worst treatment from the media. Twenty-seven percent (27%) say the media was roughest on McCain and only 15% thought the media coverage was most unfair to Obama. Looking ahead to the fall campaign, 44% believe most reporters will try to help Obama while only 13% believe that most will try to help McCain. Twenty-four percent (24%) are optimistic enough to believe that most reporters will try to offer unbiased coverage.

Because McCain never got any favorable media coverage?

The comparison works at the race horse level, at the rabid fan level, and the adoring media coverage level.
We can only hope and pray, it works at the finish line level.

I don’t think anyone would think anything bad of your comparison of Big Brown to Obama being black….seeing as how Big Brown is named for the UPS trucks !
Maybe some do not know that about Big Brown.
That’s what I heard about his name, anyway.
I know UPS was one of, if not his biggest, sponsor.

Are you partially white? [Editor --- Nope. Both of my parents are 100% white. Fine German ancestry. Unlike Obama, whose mom was white, but his Muslim father was black. Making him only partially black. And partially white. I'm not sure what about that confuses you.]

McSame digs his grave ever deeper…

John McCain, June 3, 2008:

You will hear from my opponent’s campaign in every speech, every interview, every press release that I’m running for President Bush’s third term. You will hear every policy of the President described as the Bush-McCain policy. Why does Senator Obama believe it’s so important to repeat that idea over and over again? Because he knows it’s very difficult to get Americans to believe something they know is false. So he tries to drum it into your minds by constantly repeating it rather than debate honestly the very different directions he and I would take the country.

John McCain, June 15, 2005, Meet the Press:

MR. RUSSERT: And what people point to — and this is an article in your hometown paper, the Arizona Republic, “At Odds With Bush. John McCain repeatedly has taken maverick positions that have put him at odds with President Bush’s administration” . . . . The fact is you are different than George Bush.

SEN. McCAIN: No. No. I — the fact is that I’m different but the fact is that I have agreed with President Bush far more than I have disagreed. And on the transcendent issues, the most important issues of our day, I’ve been totally in agreement and support of President Bush. So have we had some disagreements on some issues, the bulk — particularly domestic issues? Yes. But I will argue my conservative record voting with anyone’s, and I will also submit that my support for President Bush has been active and very impassioned on issues that are important to the American people.

mmm…
