McCain falling hopelessly behind

A new Wasington Post poll has Senator Barack Obama leading Senator John McCain by 10 points, 53%-43%. "With the final debate set for Wednesday at Hofstra University in Hempstead, N.Y., McCain faces a narrowing window in which to reverse course. Among the reasons McCain's path to victory seems steeper is that the percentage of "movable" voters continues to shrink. Thirteen percent of all voters are now either undecided or may change their mind before Election Day, down somewhat from recent polls"...A new Yahoo poll shows Obama winning 333 electoral votes to McCain's 175. Clearly, the numbers rae going in the wrong direction for McCain...McCain, over the last three weeks, has been viewed as "too negative" and not addressing the issues. It has not helped that the Obama/Biden ticket has appeared twice as many times as the McCain/Palin ticket in key battleground states...AP is reporting that "three weeks before Election Day, John McCain on Monday is unveiling what his aides call a more forceful new stump speech in which he portrays himself as a scrappy fighter on the comeback trail against an opponent who’s already “measuring the drapes” in the Oval Office". McCain said that "there's 22 days to go and we're 6 points down". Any poll you read clearly shows that McCain is losing ground...Stocks were up today as much as 500 points as the government pledges more bank aid.

There are 22 days until the presidential election. There are 98 days left in the Bush presidency. And, it's been 7 years, 1 month, and 2 days since there's been a terrorist attack on US soil. Good day and God bless!
