McCain catching up to Obama in the Rasmussen poll with Obama at 43% and McCain at 42%.

I am hopeful Obama peaked a while ago.
This is good....Just let Obama defeat himself. His inexperience is getting way ahead of him.
FNC has had Rasmussen on many times.
I wouldn't count on it. He'll probably be up by 20 points right after the RAT convention.
If it is somehow still close at that point, McCain is going to win.
Just so McCain wins.
And then factor in the “Bradley Effect”* . . . and voila!
*which I suspect will be greater against NObomba because he’s a much bigger jerk than Bradley or Wilder.**
**and for you Mizzou fans out there. I’m not talking about Phil and James.
At such time that McCain comes to his senses and selects Mitt Romney as his running mate, look for McCain’s numbers to go up at least 10 points. Conversely, if he picks another liberal Republican such as Crist, among others, look for him to sink.
Someone better tell Richard Viguerie and the other McCain bashers. Rembember this is in the face of a generic poll favoring any Democrat and with most issues favoring RATS.
Obama is the only real issue and people are becoming increasingly skeptical. Show business time might work in the primary but the road to November is long and fraught with real questions by real people.
Agreed, but on the same token McCain doesn't do much better when he opens his mouth. I agree with Ann Coulter's sentiment, McCain can win if he will stay in the background and let the rest of us do the heavy lifting.
FNC just had an interview with Rasmussen about this poll.
Obama’s total lack of experience is astonishing.
Sarah Palin.
Almost certainly, there still are enough actual voters
who will think HARD about their two main alternatives
... that BHO
cannot possibly collect a majority of them.
Idle polls up to the final week
are merely straw(poll)s in the wind ...
with the Feel Good factor prominent.
Ditto. I'd like to at least see one serious conservative running.
I'd feel a lot better about the election if the stock market wasn't tanking and oil hadn't hit $146/bbl. That could all change Monday, of course, but it's starting to scare me about McCain's chances.
Obama’s total lack of experience is astonishing.

It truly is! I have come to the amazing conclusion that, in reality, I am far more qualified to serve as president of these united states than Barack Hussein Obama. I have vastly more executive experience, having run my own small business for twenty years or so, plus I can list a page full of skills of which he knows nothing. The really amazing part is that despite his university degrees and the fawning fools who tell us how brilliant he is he seems to have never actually done anything that amounts to a hill of beans and without his teleprompter he makes “Elwood P. Suggins” sound positively eloquent by comparison.
I hereby nominate the following http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itb6uNL_3ag as Obama’s official campaign theme song.
As reminded by Cheri Jacobus, Obama has just 143 days of Senate experience.
That is all he had when he entered the presidential campaign.
He’s never held an executive position in politics or business.
He’s never been in the military.
He’s never run a business.
He was a lower level state official for a few years and before that he was something like a community organizer, whatever that is.
And this is the man who thinks after 143 days on the job training that he’s qualified to fill the shoes of George Washington and Ronald Reagan.
What I think is that he’s being pushed by some very, very rich and powerful people. No way you rise from dogcatcher to presidential candidate in just a few short years without some miracle you can point to.
And he can’t.
