I do think the Democrats will come together more than they appear to now but there’s no way they’ll repair all the damage that Obama and Clinton have done. However, that being said, the media is going to have a hard time spinning McCain as the latest monster from the right. They just spent the last 8 years telling everyone how wonderful the Maverick is for opposing conservative republicans. Americans have short attention spans but I think they’ll remember McCain’s good press. Thankfully we still have a secret ballot. I’m convinced that many, many Democrats will vote McCain.

I drink at a way heavy pro-union, blue collar Southside Chicago bar. My bartender knows in Republican, but that's it. The truth would practically get me shunned. But even at my bar there is a lot of talk, at first in hushed tones but less quiet now, of people admitting they'd rather go to the dark side and vote McCain than ever put a clown like Obama in charge.

I've been overly optimistic this spring. And most of my predictions are wrong anyway. But I just can't see an older democrat from Ohio or the PA voting for Obama. I'm really curious to see how hillary does tomorrow. If she wins by 10 or more points, I think that's a good sign for McCain. And nationally, things are as bad as they're going to get for McCain. I think the economy will be better on election day, and the militias in Iraq will be wiped out. So this is Obama’s high water mark.If he gets beaten badly in Pennsylvania tomorrow things will only get worse for him as the general election campaign moves on.
