Old Man McCain

John McCain: too old, too angry, too much like George W. Bush.

Polls Of August

Boy, it's been a miserable two weeks for Obama, hasn't it? First he was accused of trying to lose a war to win a campaign, then he was accused of ignoring troops, then he was called a Paris Hilton type celebrity, and now McCain is running negative ads against him during the Olympic games.

So Obama has probably crashed and burned in the polls, right?

Wrong:
Gallup:
Obama: 47%
McCain: 42%

Rasmussen:
Obama: 48%
McCain: 45%

Gallup (open-ended):
Obama: 45%
McCain: 38%

CBS:
Obama: 45%
McCain: 39%

AP:
Obama 47%
McCain: 41%

Time:
Obama 46%
McCain: 41%

and as a bonus....

Alaska:
Obama: 45%
McCain: 40%

Bush won Alaska in a blowout. So this is the equivalent of McCain beating Obama in NJ or Hawaii by 5 points. Kind of a big deal.

McCain had better hope that the Dem convention in Denver is a disaster, and that Obama throws up on himself during his acceptance speech. Because right now these ridiculous negative ads are amounting to one big fat waste of money.

How pathetic is this?
Yes, Obama should be winning by more. On fivethirtyeight.com he is winning by huge margins.

But the real problem here is the McCain Campaign. How pathetic is McCain?! He played the race card multiple times and is still losing! I thought this was the Repub ace in the hole!
