Fortunately, unlike past elections the influence of the DBM is greatly diminished. Since this will as usual cone down to a few States deciding who wins, my sense is that McCain will flood them with ads simply laying out Obamas connections to bad guys, the liberals part in the FNMA and FMAC debacle, his voting record, his glaring inconsistencies and his really stunning lack of experience.

In the end there will not be enough morons in the inner cities to carry this lightweight.

McCain by 6

I like your optimism, but I’m not so sure.

This election has very strange dynamics with race and gender each playing a large role.

During the Democrat primary, pollsters repeatedly got it wrong, sometimes VERY wrong because people were telling them they were voting for Obama, but instead they voted for Hillary. Pollsters found excuses for why they got it wrong - like Hillary crying in NH swinging the vote dramatically. I don’t buy that. I think people were telling pollsters they were voting for Obama because they wanted to appear they weren’t racist.

I think a lot of people are uncomfortable with Obama and his past and present connections. He has his worshippers, to be sure, but it’s the old mile wide, but one inch deep support, IMO.

This is a really hard election to get a beat on.
