But most Americans still feel that McCain is better qualified.

Yes, and Palin is beyond qualified.

"This [the crisis] is exactly what the Obama campaign was hoping for". But most Americans still feel that McCain is better qualified.

I am just dumbfounded...every single poll I have seen shows Obama ahead on this topic. It's as if you live in a different reality...

McCain made a serious error when he moved the campaign from attacking Obama's resume.

The price of picking palin i am afraid...short term thinking comes back to bite him...as I said earlier....not to mention the potential disaster of having palin in the oval office. I just cannot fathom this in a time of crisis...

The demanding arrogance of your side.....you can blame the media all you want but if McCain loses, its because of stuff like this crap:

Take Off the Bracelet, Senator [Jonah Goldberg]

corner.nationalreview.com

"The mother of a Wisconsin soldier who died in Iraq says she was "ecstatic" when Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama mentioned during Friday's debate the bracelet she gave him in honor of her son.

Tracy Jopek of Merrill told The Associated Press on Sunday she was honored that Obama remembered Sgt. Ryan David Jopek, who was killed in 2006 by a roadside bomb.

Jopek criticized Internet reports suggesting Obama, D-Ill., exploited her son for political purposes.

"I don't understand how people can take that and turn it into some garbage on the Internet," she said."

McSame is behind because he's a cancerous old grouch geezer with a long past and no future. He's got incipient Alzheimer's and old man smell. McSame is likely to die any minute, and he picked a clueless bimbo as his VP candidate. He should just withdraw and salute Obama.

"McCain is behind right now for one reason only - the media is trying to install Obama."

Not even vaguely true. McCain is behind because the economy is uppermost on people's minds. And McCain is weak on economic issues. And a huge reason that is true is that he has always shrugged it off, to the point where he has stated he knows nothing about it.

I have watched intrade all last week. The weaker the economy the higher the bet for Obama has moved. McCain's attempt at drama last Wed only hurt him more.....couple that with Palin's Couric interview, and a McCain bet is plummeting.....now below 40.
