There has been a recent surge, but it wasn’t Fred. It is McCain.

That is the most inexplicable thing I've ever seen. How many times does McCain have to trash his base for people to take notice.

McCain will bust just like the Huck.

Totally agreed. It is most amazing. I think it is attributable, in part, to the fact that while McCain was out of the picture, all of the fire was focused on others. So he has been out there for five months or so without no one paying him much attention. Now, as the warts are revealed on everyone else, all of a sudden, McCain looks attractive to many voters.

But, that is surely only a partial explanation. Like you said, this is truly inexplicable.
