The Kerry-fication of Mitt Romney

While David Carr thinks the Romney campaign's protestations about the perceived liberal bias within the mainstream media are a waste of time, John Cook takes the other side, and says he's getting a hard time, and that the press is doing to him was done to John Kerry:

When Romney tried to get a crowd at a rally in Ohio add his running mate's name to a chant they had started—"Romney! Ryan!" instead of "Romney! Romney!"—even nominal Republican Joe Scarborough stubbornly misinterpreted it as a hamfisted attempt to change the chant from Ryan's name to his own. This is not because Joe Scarborough supports the candidacy of Barack Obama. It is because he supports the primacy of the Romney-is-a-Loser narrative, and wanted to hold up another shining example of that loser-dom for the rest of the political press to giggle at. Which they did, even though it was obviously based on a falsehood to anyone who took time to listen to the audio.
