McCain win?
I've been getting this strong feeling lately that McCain is going to win the presidential race. It seemed unlikely a while ago, but I think that as time goes on McCain's chances are looking better and better.
Really, there are plenty of reasons McCain should be behind now - he effectively represents an unpopular incumbent, he is unpopular with his own party, he's not very charismatic. Obama, on the other hand, has every reason to on top of the world now - his "change" image, the deification he's been getting from the press, his charisma, the bump from beating out Hillary, the general unpopularity with the establishment and his anti-establishment hype. But, it seems like McCain and Obama are pretty close right now, close when Obama should be ahead by double digits. I think that probably anybody who would have voted for Obama would be a supporter by now, I think in the time between now and the election, undecideds are more likely to go to McCain. Unless something important happens that influences public opinion between now and then.
Of course, I'm not sure, but if I had to bet now, I'd bet on McCain.
