Nonsense. Whoever is running the McCain ad campaign is the best the Republican Party has ever had. He is raising Obamas negatives on an almost daily basis. The sex education for kindergartners was beautiful, that alone will knock a few points off the Big O's fav ratings in flyover country.

You're right when McCain is calling the turn, but at least for today it's the haloed one's people calling the turn

McCain's been running a campaign based on John Boyd's OODA loop. You can get inside Obama's decision making process by being positive as well as negative. He's already shown that with the change motif. Pailin is a strength, but today she was defended and she didn't have to be. Obama's insult could have been responded to with a press staement and the campaign would move on.
