Via Mike Allen, the Project for Excellence in Journalism reports that Barack Obama gained more news coverage than John McCain even when Obama was on vacation:
For the ninth time in 10 weeks, moreover, Obama generated more coverage than his rival, even during a week when he was vacationing. The Democrat registered as a significant or dominant factor in 63% of the campaign stories studied, compared with 50% for McCain.
In all fairness, I’m sure that John McCain bodysurfing would generate a lot more news than whatever Obama is doing on any given day. Cowabunga. Dude.
