Media drives the McCain bus

Sure, I hammered Mitt Romney yesterday. But today is another day. And a beautiful one at that, because while I am giving him a boost (via Mattew Yglesias), I actually get to hammer John McCain AND the Beltway Media.

This morning, Mitt Romney had more delegates than John McCain. Following today's primaries, Romney's lead has grown even larger because Nevada has more delegates than South Carolina and Romney won a larger proportion of the vote in NV than McCain got in South Carolina. Naturally, the press is declaring this a big win for McCain. I just saw Howard Fineman explain that "there is no longer any strong candidate in the race" to oppose McCain. Nobody but the guy who's leading, that is.

The media pundits from the Washington D.C. beltway absolutely love Saint McCain. And it looks like they don't care for Romney. Just watch ... everything that happens in the campaign over the next few weeks will be bad news for Romney and great news for McCain, according to these pundits.
