For those of you scoring at home.

Old white guy at the head of a disorganized, dispirited, no-momentum campaign vs. young, hip, smooth-talkin’ black dude fronting a disciplined campaign team that hi-lites (all) his strength(s) without exposing his weaknesses. Bad election year for Republicans in Congress predicted and people can’t stand the President who happens to be a member of the old white guy’s party.

And even with all this including a shameless media in M.T. Suit’s back pocket, old white guy sits just outside the statistical error range in polls heading into the fall when the Republican candidates have traditionally gained momentum to close the gap if not overtake the Democratic candidate entirely with whom the public has had a summer fling.

If McCain pulls this off, it will have to go down as one of the great upsets in Presidential election history.

If Obama loses--if-- it will be because he acts as if the voters are all idiots.

Honestly, my hackles have been up for that reason for a while-- he's kind of like those folks who will call an expert "sweetie" and ignore her, just because she's a gal. (Why, yes, I have known several folks like that-- and came close to demanding a court marshal when one tried to pass a piece of gear that was horrifically out of spec.)
