Isn't Barack way ahead on the electoral map? I don't think any false smear that the republicans can think of can give McCain enough of a swing on the electoral map. He needs to get almost all the tossup states. Not gonna happen. I don't get why ppl keep calling it a dead heat based on the popular vote. Isn't Barack way ahead on the electoral map?

That has not happened over the last two elections. Reality is we have been shafted under faith-based economic ideas. We can hope that the evaporation of the McCain convention bounce is due to reality setting in. Our economy is in the tank because of the right wing polices Palin backs. We have had eight years of evangelical capitalism. We cannot run our economy on the faith idea that no regulations ends with more people doing good over bad. Obviously, this philosophy has allowed for the looting of our lending institutions. We need a realist, like Barack Obama. He knows and understands the function of government. He understands that we have to have an economic regulatory structure and a national plan for the advancement of our strength, both in might and mind, for America. McCain traded in his Maverick stance to four more years of Bush when he picked Palin. We do not need four more years of evangelical economy tactics that the Republicans have run us under with. Out-of-Control Republicans. Enough is enough! Reality usually wins over fantasy. That has not happened over the last two elections. Reality is we have been shafted under faith-based economic ideas.

I just don't see the numbers changing greatly until voters begin focusing on the issues, rather than ideology, and start asking for specifics from the candidates. I think the real challenge for the McCain campaign is to spell out exactly what "reform" will look like if he's elected. I think people are caught up with the jingoism of the word right now and are excited, but once they see that there are no specific meaures attached, McCain's numbers will start to drop. Having said that, I think this will be a close election when you look at the popular vote. However, I think there's a good chance there will be a much larger gap in the Electoral College (for Obama), and then it will be the Republicans' turn to dispute the viability of the Electoral system.

McCain supports the supply-side, trickle-down economic policies that have failed this country for the past 8 years. Reducing corporate taxes does not help the average worker & reducing taxes on people making over $250k does not create new jobs. Bush didn't understand the economy & McCain wants to continue the same economic policies. I'm not surprised McCain's poll numbers are down.
