It doesn't look good for Team McCain; even though this has been an election of back and forth lead changes, the trends are now solidly in Obama's favor. There is enough offal fermenting in the goo- ACORN, Ayers, Wright, Khalidi, Kenya, etc.- that some of it might eventually stick to Obama. But John McCain has to stick his hands in that goo and start flinging it. He can't make a halting attempt to attack Obama, then put his hand to his forehead and mutter that Barry's a nice guy. You just end up with the cr*p on your faace instead of his. We'll see tonight what happens, but McCain needs to be who he hasn't been: a fighter armed not with bromides about honor, but with bullets. Ayers hates America, and you knew it! BAM! ACORN stealing this election, and you gave them money! BAM! You want to take money from the people who actually earn it and give it to people who don't! BAM! You're a good guy! Click. You want to destroy the healthcare system! BAM! I'm going to reform it with (insert intense policy knowledge here)! BAM! I respect your accomplishment! Click. Does that light mean I'm out of time? Click.
