On his Time magazine blog, The Page, last February,

Mark Halperin sketched out 16 tactics the "savvy,

experienced operatives" in the McCain campaign

could use "to try to beat Obama." Well, McCain

and his forces took Mark's suggestions to heart

and tried them all at one time or another until

Election Day. Alas, not one of them worked. Now

Mr. Halperin is saying he's disgusted with the

"extreme bias" and "extreme pro-Obama coverage"

of the media. It's enough to make one think of Mark

as the Joe Lieberman of the press corps.
