Yup. Some of it is also the medias sense that being unbiased means saying good things or bad things about each candidate in equal numbers, regardless of how much of a fool one may make of himself. Nate is, intentionally, more positive about whoever seems to be winning the day, and only neutral in his assessment on days that seem to be pushes.
Reporting that way would be a HUGE shift in american journalism.
