The good news is Obama is behind. The "could be worse" news is McCain is ahead!

Obama is trailing Kerry's EC position from 2004
A handy feature on the electoral-vote.com web site is a one-click comparison of the current electoral map projections with those on the same date four years ago. Today's map shows Obama with a projected 275 votes to McCain's 250, with 13 up for grabs. Four years ago — Kerry 317, Bush 202, and 19 tied. Interesting.

McCain's Saturday Night performance may be the most critical moment in the race.
Uh-Bama could not hide his socialist ideas.
All elections have their sea change moments -- the Saddleback Night may very well be the one in this one.

I wonder if this has any dem superdelegates rethinking their votes. this is just what the doctor ordered . . . for hillary.

If it is, then its a sad day for Obama - to lose momentum after participating in an unofficial forum to try to woo voters who naturally drift rightward. Almost napoleonesque overreaching based entirely on ego.
I dont think this bubble will last, but if it does, its bad news for the Obama.

it doesn't appear to be a bubble, it appears to be a rather longstanding trend that began not very long after he was coronated, er, nominated.
I'm having a hard time believing it, too. I keep expecting him to jump 10 points and never look back . . . .

Thats my hope too - that people have finally learned enough about the International Man of Mystery to realize he is not what he seemed to be. - I suspect though that there will be such a massive media Newsgasm after Obama's VP announcement and then the Dem convention that the negative perceptions that have started to creep in about the BarackStar! will be washed away in a tide of high gloss celebrity glitz.

Those the gods would destroy they first make proud.

I agree, I have seen a lot of debates, this one was the knockout punch methinks!

hillary does. :-) seriously, though, I doubt it, although I think that 5 point deficit in the zogby poll may have rattled a few of the less indoctrinated among them.
