Hillary Clinton to be his VP running mate? Such a pick sounded ludicrous just a week ago but that's when Obama was leading John McCain. According to the latest Reuter/Zogby, McCain now leads Obama by 5% points. More interesting is that McCain is trending higher in 13 of the 16 battleground states. Now McCain's lead is not a function of his rising in the polls, but rather Obama's drop. McCain doesn't seem to be generating any excitement so it's become a referendum on Obama, much like it was in 1992 on George H.W. Bush. Obama has had a terrible summer, underperformed at Saddleback, the charges of his inexpereince and lack of substance are beginning to stick, and his arrogance appears to be getting the best of him, i.e., flying around with his own presidential seal. Perhaps the Obama campaign is panicked to the point that rumors are circulating that he's chosen Hillary Clinton. It makes sense politically to win the election, but having to govern with her, and Bill, for eight years is the stuff of nightmares. We should know in the next 24-36 hours who Obama has chosen. Stay tuned!
There are 74 days until the presidential election. And, it's been 2,737 days since there's been a terrorist attack on US soil. Good day and God bless!
