Boy Meets Girl

The media has an interest in making the race exciting. One of the most reliable dramatic turns in a story line is the old "Boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl back."

Let me translate to applicable terms: "Obama finds his mojo, Obama loses his mojo, Obama gets his mojo back."

Right now we're in the "Boy loses Girl" act of this play, but watch the media story start to change with the VP debate. You'll see a growing "Comeback" story being built for Obama. It's exciting. It's dramatic. It's contrived! and it's coming to a cable channel in your service area!
