If the bounce keeps McCain in the lead, Obama’s last big hope is going to be the debates. McCain needs to do well in that first one to solidify the lead.
I know Bush lost 2 or 3 debates to Kerry. But Obama is a stronger candidate than Kerry.
And McCain is more skilled at debating than Bush.
He’s more likeable than Kerry but is he a good debater? We shall see. I don’t know if McCain can debate either but he has shown that his breadth of knowledge on any domestic or foreign policy topic is far greater than His Nibs.
