Absolutely. McCain has to seize the initiative all through August. Much like what Bubba did to Dole. The key states are turning to McCain already: Florida and Ohio for sure

The funniest news today is a video where Boma compared himself to Brittany or Paris. Said he’s more popular than they are. LOL. (I though that was racial-speak)

McCain will win Florida and Ohio, as well as Colorado and Virginia. The real state to watch for, mark my words, is Indiana.

If Both candidates take all of the expected states, (McCain taking Florida, Ohio, Virginia, Colorado, Missouri, South Carolina, Nevada, Montana, and even giving him New Mexico, and Obama takes Pennsylvania, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Oregon, and New Jersey) then all it would take was Obama flipping Indiana for a 270-to-268 win.

If Obama picks Evan Bayh, then this could be within reach. Right now, Indiana is a dead heat, and Bayh, who is immensely popular there as both a senator and former governor, could help deliver it. Also expect Gary, IN mayor Rudy Clay to stay up late on election night stuffing ballot boxes Chicago-style for Obama like he did during the Indiana primary.

Evan Bayh was the foremost supporter of the Iraq war still remaining in the Democrat party (since Joe Lieberman was kicked out). The big three leading the charge for war in the Senate were Bayh, Lieberman, and John McCain.

Some may think that given Obama’s strong opposition to Iraq which he initially built his campaign on this rules Bayh out. But this is barack Obama we’re talking about, so in reality, it makes Bayh ever more likely. The media would declare such a pick to be “shrewed” and “brilliant”, that it “softens his stance on Iraq,” allowing him to claim both sides of the Iraq debate as he has done on so many other issues.

Bayh, who is young, handsome, and as moderate a Democrat you will find, would help boost Obama’s appeal to independents, blue-collar midwesterners, and white women, whom together make up the bulk of Obama’s problem areas as a Democrat.

If Obama picks Bayh, McCain may likely have to not only hold all of the traditional red states, but he would also have to take a blue state, with his best bet being Michigan, Pennsylvania, or New Hampshire. I believe Iowa will be hopelessly out of reach for McCain this election.
