Rich Lowry hits on all cylinders with this column blasting the tacit arrangement between Obama and the establishment media to declare off-limits ANY subject that makes Obama look bad. As I have said all along, John McCain has a seriously uphill battle, because while he has achieved his current strength only with the support of a fawning media, he now will be Media Enemy Number One while Obama gets more help, by far, than Kerry did in 2004 or even than Clinton did in 1992. So McCain will be running without his TWO bases -- the GOP base, which is unenthusiastic, and his own personal base in the media, which will suddenly be hostile. It might really throw him off his stride.
