"He also has made a quote that may be the defining moment in this campaign when he said: "

I think he is expressing his frustrations. i-node et al like to point at the national polls and exclaim how close things are. But, the presidential election is determined by the electoral college. If you look at things state by state, you see a different story. Take Texas, for example. McCain leads by about 5 points. But there are 17% undecided. Unless Bush can turn his approval numbers around or Obama does something transcendentally stupid, the undecideds will likely trend towards Obama and not McCain.

So McCain could lose Texas. Given that just about every other larger state seems to be in Obama's camp already, that doesn't leave much for McCain. The only states that seem pretty safe for him at the moment, like Arkansas, don't have all that many electoral votes.

As a result, his chances look pretty dim right now.
