Default It's still Obama's to lose, but...

not as clear-cut as I've been thinking:

yeah, between Obama's weak statements on the Russian aggression, the advertising blitz from McCain, Obama's vacation, and his flop at the faith forum, his numbers have been tanking. But worse than his slide in the popular polling, is that the electoral projections are evening out, as well. Obama's losing his cushion.

He's got to up his game. He's gotta stop just waiting for McCain to attack and then half-heartedly defending himself. They say that championships are won on defense, which is well and fine, but the winning team still has to make a decent offensive play now and then.

Such an Obama homer, can't you ever identify any of his weaknesses. You're making Cali blush by your constant singing praises of Obama. Sheesh. Cali move over, you got competition for your manlove.

Next thing we're going to hear is Tex telling us how embarrassed he was that McCain pilfered Solzhenitsyn's story for the Faith interview. After that, we might even experience true dialog. We gotta stop that before it happens. Paddy boy, can't you step in to stop this madness.

I'm just sayin' is all. I know the Tiger Woods comparisons are bad form, but this is clearly not Obama's A game.

Winds of change though: he's going to start hitting the trail hard with his newly crowned VP this weekend, and he's going to start airing tough ads about McCain in swing states.

McCain will somehow win narrowly while the rest of the Republicans get clobbered in the House and Senate. That's my prediction. I can live with that result.

you can come to my church. We have donuts and diet coke. And an amp and a fog machine, too. It's a very reverent atmosphere.
