COULD THE MEDIA TURN ON OBAMA? Steve Hayward of Power Line spots Howard Fineman, formerly of Newsweek, now with the Huffington Post, writing the first (albeit tentative) MSM pre-postmortem for Mr. Obama.

Eschew the aura of the penumbra of the appearance of cockiness, however.

UPDATE: “‘Morning Joe’ panel second-guessing Obama’s shot at re-election [VIDEO].”

I bet that’s going to lead to some ugly emails from the White House to MSNBC.
