Barry O Landslide Update

John McCain's impending fate displayed graphically.

Larry J. Sabato details for Rasmussen Reports how JM's position in the Electoral College, no scream in hell last week, has continued to deteriorate this week.

"Obama has 190 Solid, 49 Likely, and 66 Leaning electoral votes, for a total of 305, or 35 more than needed for election.

McCain has 122 Solid, 30 Likely, and 22 Leaning electoral votes, for a total of 174."

McCain's Last Stand

As Mr Fries noted in tonight's debate, a long line of McCains have served the US in war and peace. However if they're going to get a President in there amongst the family portraits the deed will be done by a future generation.
If anyone wondered if JM could have done any worse than he did in the previous bouts, the question was answered tonight: Yes he could.
In hockey terms the guy was squeezing his stick so hard sawdust was blowing out the end.
It got to the point were he was misspeaking so badly with it, he was blurting out all sorts of interesting malapropisms like his vow to make "health care avoidable, er affordable" ... Too late big guy, they heard the first version.
I had expected Barry O to rope a dope a lot more than he did. He actually took it to McCain though, something I got the feeling wasn't particularly anticipated in the Repugnican corner either.
Barry O landslide on the way.

Republicans Know Its Over

Ed Rollins confirms your correspondent's analysis.

You know, watching McCain fumbling meekly along (to say nothing of the Palin geek show) I can't help wondering if the GOP backroom didn't figure from the start they couldn't win and put up a couple of sacrificial lambs. Why waste a candidate who might have a shot at it next time? Many have said that McCain is too old to be running this election, never mind in '12, so he fits the bill there. And Johnny's a good soldier, he'll fall on the grenade, right?
As for Palin, just think "Kim Campbell" and it starts to make sense.
Just wonderin'
