<p class="MsoNormal">As Katie Couric and Charles Gibson board planes to take them to Jordan and Israel respectively, the Republicans are saying “What about us?” </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Republicans have been increasingly vocal about the lack of coverage McCain is getting versus Obama. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“The question really needs to be posed: Is this type of coverage fair?” said Rep. Eric Cantor. “This is nothing but a political stunt.” </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Of course the media always plays a big part in the election and it is not the first time they played favorites but they also tend to go with the interesting story. Obama is overseas in Iraq, McCain is in…hey, where is he anyway? </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The media will attempt to level the playing field in the coming weeks by throwing something McCains way – I think a guest spot on <em>American Gladiators</em> or something. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><em>You can’t manipulate the media if they are not focusing a camera on you! </em></p>
