The Obama Plane: The Victims

So which reporters were denied a seat on the Obama plane (the story is all the rage today)?

From the Washington Times, it was Christina Bellantoni.

From the New York Post, it was Geoff Earle (random side note: Earlier Charlie Hurt was booted from the plane after the campaign objected to a column of his).

From the Dallas Morning News, it was Todd J. Gillman.

“There’s no doubt in my mind that it’s political” says one reporter familiar with the Obama campaign’s recent reporter manuevers. “This is like what the Bushies do..”

>UPDATE: The Dallas Morning News is up with its own reaction.
