Obama got a lot more coverage until McCain picked Palin for his VP and now it's all her.
Granted I'm going more by internet and NPR than anything else, because I don't even have cable tv. However, usually all of these outlets parrot each other.
It has nothing to do with ideological preferences either, and everything to do with novelty. Obama is the first black person to ever win a presidential nomination and so it was all about him for quite a while, because the alternative was to talk about McCain, "Well, he's old, and he wants to nuke Iran, ho hum..." Then McCain pulled a semi-hot looking redneck Alskan separatist chick out of his ass and now we have a bigger novelty. Obama is having a hard time getting noticed at this point, but we'll see if it lasts.
