Add ‘Combat Kerry’ to the ticket and should do it!

Dean Barnett thinks "the rest of the country is beginning to discover" that "Obama doesn’t wear well." His "potentially fatal lack of substance" may doom him, as could his "allergy to getting specific."

I don't agree with Barnett. The rest of the country (aside from those who would vote for this guy no matter what) is beginning to see the substance behind the hype -- abortion-or-bust, collectivism, massive tax hikes, lies, evasions, questionable fund-raising, elitism -- and it doesn't like what it sees.

McCain’s greatest political asset is Obama’s mouth.

From the Boston Globe:

B> Turnout Obama's 'ace in the hole?'

The latest "Battleground Poll" from George Washington University reinforces what seems to be consensus among national polls just preceding the nominating conventions -- the horse race is neck and neck, despite disdain for Republicans and the Bush administration generally.

In the poll, released today, Republican John McCain and Democrat Barack Obama are statistically tied, with McCain leading 47 percent to 46 percent in a survey with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points. They're also tied in favorability, at 57 percent each.

“It is amazing how similar the image scores appear to be for both Barack Obama and John McCain. If Obama is this agent of change that America has been waiting for, why is his image no better than the nominee from the other party—a political party whose brand is supposed to be so badly damaged?” Republican pollster Brian Tringali asks in a release on the poll.

McCain is moving up largely because his standing is improving among all-important independent voters. He leads Obama by 10 percentage points, after trailing by 14 percentage points in May.

Interestingly, though, 51 percent of voters say they believe Obama will win, compared to 34 percent who pick McCain.

Thanks Ernest.

Polling — depends on the time of the day, who answers the phone, who’s home, who’s walking down the street by the poll-taker while wearing an “Obama 2008” t-shirt, etc.

I truly believe that Obama's endorsement of abortion and born alive baby killing has defeated him. Our nation is leaning to the right and Obamanation does not even realize it!

Obama's lead disappeared due to his arrogance and obvious inexperience. And more and more voters are seeing him as an out of the mainstream leftist. I think he's finally jumped the shark.

"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached."

Dear God, please let the DemonRat convention come and go and this thing be nominated.

Thanks SC and Ernest.

"...speculates that the media's "fawning coverage" of Obama, which the McCain campaign has highlighted with "The One," its nickname for the Democrat, may have caused voter resentment. "

"resentment"? Maybe it just smells bad when the media lines up in the tank for one candidate. It's not resentment. It's just the curse of elite liberal endorsements and favoritism by the media. But it wasn't just Big Media favoring Obama. It was the silliness of the way they made him out to be some kind of messiah or deliverer. It got silly. People smelled a fake. A charlatan, puffed up on grandiosity. When something becomes kooky or it seems like the guy might be a little nuts, a certain number of people will back away. That's not "resentment."

The fawning over and veneration of Obama became kooky. He started sliding down right after the Berlin speech. When people got a chance to compare the two candidates at the Saddleback Civil Forum, that was enough.
