How will Obama regain the commanding lead which is his by divine right?

PREFACE:
On ABC's This Week, Claire McCaskill, speaking for Obama, said that John McCain's age was fair fodder for political adds because he is an old man who could drop dead at any moment, and "all of us know it." Speaking for McCain, Carly Fiorina observed that the Dems are in "full panic mode." She cited today's opinion page in the New York Times, the columnists, as an example of this.
Former Fed chair Alan Greenspan predicted that the housing market will stabilize "early next year."
On FOX News Sunday, Alaska Lieutenant Governor Tony Knowles pointed out that Governor Palin had slashed earmark requests from their levels under the preceding Murkowski and Knowles administrations. Former Alaska Governor Tony Knowles, a Democrat, stubbornly insisted that there were really two Bridges to Nowhere.
On NBC's Meet the Press, moderator Tom Brokaw pointed out a few bad polls to Chuckie Schumer and asked the Senator about Obama's plans to triumph over them. Next, he spoke to Rudy Giuliani, attacking John McCain and his campaign, maintaining that Jesus Christ was a community organizer while Pontius Pilate was a governor.
CBS' Face the Nation was a free-for-all, with Bob Schieffer maintaining some order. It was mostly Deb Wasserman-Schultz vs. Jane Swift, but Kay Bailey Hutchison offered some more seasoned remarks. Janet Napolitano said she wanted to talk about John McCain, not Sarah Palin.
On CNN's Late Edition, Bill Richardson averred that McCain and Obama should be debating the economy. Tim Pawlenty pointed out that Obama's campaign and surrogates wanted to talk not about the economy, but about Palin's 17-year-old daughter. Both candidates have a paucity of foreign policy experience, but Richardson declared that Obama has had "international experience as a human being with his background." (I hope he's skeptical about the water-walking bit, though.)
