I suspect the democrats pulled out all the stops during the republican primary season to get McCain nominated, because they knew what an awful campaigner he would be, thus assuring the democrats a victory in November.
McCain is toast, he just does not know it yet. He has his head buried in the sand, listening to all his 'yes' men, ignoring the dissent within his own party, just like George Bush Sr did.
Good-bye McCain, get ready to drink your sorrows away with Hillary!
Gallup has him up over Obama in likely voters. What are you talking about?
