This is going to be one nail-biting election.

If it goes according to my understanding of people and Obama, there will be a hockey stick plot of support for McCain. Over the last 3 days, maybe 7 days of the campaing, there will be a groundswell switch away from the Dems.

People are saying they like Obama for the Messiah factor, but as they come up to the decision, McCain will be safer.

Is it EFFECTIVE!

Exclamation point? Is it a question or an excited statement?

No matter really. I don't see much of a campaign strategy, other than his apologizing for anybody who raises a "controversial" issue about Obama.

And any issue other than "Isn't Obama dreamy?" is apparently too controversial to broach.

I see that it could be very effective. I think McCain has the upper hand now. There is an unanswered question out there he can keep hammering Obama on. Why don't you support the winning “surge” strategy, especially since Obama wants to be CIC. And why didn't you visit the troops?
Keep hammering on that, Obama can't answer either w/o continuing to misrepresent himself. The when he does start to answer switch back to the economy and make Obama follow you there, ask why aren't you focused on gas prices, homes, etc. McCain now has a chance to keep Obama off balance.
