Do you still think McCain has the upper hand in the upcoming election?
You STILL think it's his to lose?
Really?

It's nice to see that, at least so far, everything I said about Obama's chances in the general have slowly been coming true.

I think that website Creeps linked to was pointing out that the poll leader in June has fairly consistently lost their lead going into November. So, if Obama is ahead now and it's only a slim margin, then I wouldn't be feeling comfortable....assuming the statistics track. Which they may or may not.

That's a helpful answer Yoho.
Something may or may NOT happen!

Actually that's a perfectly valid answer: he's saying that looking at past performances statistically you can't really make a call one way or the other. I'm saying that Obama has nothign going for him except absurd media gushing. Clinton would have gotten more swing voters than Obama would have. The Democrats have, for the second time in a row, selected one of the more liberal of the potential candidates and it's going to hurt them just like it did last time. Especially since McCain has far more crossover appeal than Bush ever did.
And given that a blind man could tell that the media in general were pretty shamelessly pulling for Obama over Clinton, I don't think that's gonna help among the general population. I don't really think that the media are viewed all that favorably in general.
