I agree, though I doubt many voters are going to give this a second look, even Joe Six Packs. Her persona is not only genuinely imbued in the electorate on its own merits, but it has been reinforced by media lampooning. It'll be a true feat of magic if the media can now pivot and call her an elitist.

Nonsense. Bush has a historically low approval rating, and though the Dem Congress is lower, America has transfixed its anger on the White House, and the White House alone. Obama has the entire media establishment rooting him on, covering for him, and he was gift-wrapped an economic crisis just at the moment McCain was charging.
McCain has had his own problems to be sure, to say he should've "run away" with the election is laughable. It's amazing he's even still within striking distance.
