This week's stories were teeming with references to Obama's lead. The debate was greatly discussed and Gallup Polls revealed Obama's victory. After the debate watch on campus, many students were discussing both candidates' performances. One member of my group came to the event a McCain supporter and left planning to vote for Obama.
One story was dedicated to young voters favoring Obama, and another article discussing the death of Cindy McCain's half sister, included that her other half sister would be voting for Obama because of Cindy's mistreatment of the family. This story framed Cindy McCain as a rich, snobby woman who has no concern for her loved ones. Is she really that person? I'm not sure, and unfortunately the only way I can make that decision is through mediated information.
Every main story of the week discussed Obama in a positive manner. I went to a concert last night, and singer/songwriter Tristan Prettyman even had an Obama flyer taped under the strings of her guitar.
Obama is everywhere, Obama is on top, and this week USA Today has been sneding that message to the public.
Will McCain find his way back into the headlines? Keep reading; I'll keep observing.
