OH AND AS FOR MCCAIN...

Here's a guy getting no bad press; almost no attention from the opposition. He's in total honeymoon mode watching his potential fall opponents tear each other apart.

And from this idyllic situation we find the polling shows:

Obama (D) 46%, McCain (R) 45%
Clinton (D) 48%, McCain (R) 45%

If he can't get above 50 percent in this atmosphere, then doesn't that say that his campaign is a failure so far? I mean, really. If he can't get above 50 percent now, how is going to get there when the Dems start to focus on him?

And what is going to rely on to get above 50 percent?

The economy?
The Bush presidency?
The Iraq War?
The strength of the GOP?
His ability to raise huge amounts of money?
His ageless energy and charisma?
What?

At this juncture I'd say Senator McCain better lube up now, because he is SOOO screwed.
