A part of it could also have been the cooperation given by the campaigns. It seemed that Obama's camp was a bit more cooperative than McCain's camp. Now, a lot of those times Obama, Biden, etc. were simply offering platitudes and sound bites, but it was something. I thought McCain's camp should have done a lot more to try to control the message going out to the public, and to shape the media coverage. Maybe that's the ex-journalist/media relations person in me...

I think you're more willing to fault McCain/Palin than I am. I tend to think it the media's job to avoid being controlled more by one campaign. While an argument can be made the Palin's contacts with the press were limited (and, at least in the widely seen interviews, terrible), it's harder to say that about McCain.
