[See NewsBusters for more.] With the Democrats facing bad news in the coming midterms, the networks have largely been ignoring the possible electoral wave. Yet, NBC and CBS couldn't resist the "cute" story of Barack Obama bantering with a woman and her boyfriend on Monday. As the President was getting ready to do early voting in Chicago, a man walked by and told him, "Don't touch my girlfriend."  Obama shot back, "I really wasn't planning on it." An extended exchange followed. The CBS Evening News on Monday devoted a full report. A clearly impressed Scott Pelley marveled, "Just a little constituent service from the President of the United States."
