McCain says coverage is 'fun to watch'

Trying to avoid being portrayed as a whiney spoilsport, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) broke with his advisers Tuesday and told Katie Couric of CBS News that news coverage of the presidential campaign has been fair and even "fun to watch." Asked whether he believes he'd had unfair media coverage, Sen McCain replied, "I don't think so. I think ...it is what it is. I'm a big boy. And I'm enjoying every minute of the campaigning. And I'm certainly not complaining. And, in fact, I think it's fun to watch." Couric asked: "Do you think your campaign simply isn't as adept as Senator Obama's when it comes to facilitating media coverage?" Sen McCain replied: "No, I think my campaign's doing fine. We're two or three points behind. We're doing fine. I'm very happy with where we are. Senator Obama has run a very successful campaign, gaining the nomination of his party, and attracting the attention of many people. I'm happy. We're putting one foot ahead of the other. I'm happy with where we are. I relish the underdog. And I'm confident we're gonna be victorious. I'm very happy with my campaign. I'm very happy with where we are. Love the town hall meetings and I love the kind of campaigning we're doing."
