Bush is leaving a hell of a mess and the congress isn't much better.
so whoever wins had better have his ducks in a row, because he will not recieve the traditional 100 days grace before the Media attacks. He will be lucky to get 100 hrs.
He'd have a very hard job finding anyone who is both a "staunch Party follower" and "will agree with him all the time", given his love of crossing party lines!

I'd say Congress is actually worse, between its even lower approval ratings and Pelosi's bizarre crusade in support of imported oil. As for docile media, Obama can safely count on getting at least a hundred weeks more media support, McCain would have been lucky to get zero, since that would mean them attacking months in the future rather than right now. He's already had an NY Times smear campaign against him!
