yeah, wait for the one day when McCain is ahead in one poll and call Obama a "sinking ship". Ride out that fantasy, bro. Nevermind the electoral vote polls showing Obama significantly ahead of McCain.
Better check your history.
When a candidate names his VP, he gets a bounce in the polls. Fauxbama didn't.
When a candidate has their convention, they get a bounce in the polls. Fauxbama hasn't as of yet and might not.
He certainly won't get the historical average of 5 pts.
In fact, he's has lost the +9 advantage he had a few weeks ago.
The more he is exposed, the more he is exposed as an empty suit.
It takes more then flowery, slick sounding speeches referring vaguely to "change"
Fauxbama doesn't have the experience, and he is trying to be everything to everyone - try that with women and see how far that gets you. Same with politics.
The fact that Fauxbama has gone from +9 to -2 after naming his running mate and starting his convention is bad. Deny it all you want, but he's screwed.
Game over.
Mark this day on your calendar as the turning point, when McCain passed Fauxbama and never looked back.
The trend is his friend.
An 11 pt. swing in 4 weeks is bad, no matter how much you try to spin it.
The fact that McCain hasn't even named his VP or started his convention yet is even worse news for the Obamabots.
Read it and weep:
July 27th, Fauxbama up by 9:

August 26th, McCain up by 2:

An 11 point swing in 4 weeks.
It's over. You just don't know it yet. Spin it all you like. He's done.
And once "Grandpa" McCain debates Fauxbama, the gap will grow even more.
Bank on it.
And I don't know what EV's you're looking at, but most are just as close as the polls and trending heavily towards McCain.
But keep entertaining the fantasy as The Fraud is exposed for the empty suit he is and collapses like the house of cards he is.
It's over.
