Two weeks before the election after repeated innuendo, they'll drop the bomb about Barack's middle name to the still unaware masses. Obama's not carrying Florida or Georgia. He probably won't even get Colorado or Virginia. Therefore, he loses. Please explain to me how you expect he wins. l mean, please. Because I hope I'm wrong. Sadly, I'm not. Anyone who thinks differently is merely deluded. The polls are unreliable, so don't go there.

Again, I feel slightly out of my depth here but, from a UK perspective, there is almost no coverage of McCain whatsoever. Europe seems convinced that Obama is going to walk it. Personally I'm not so confident. You're right that in a straight fight Obama and Biden would walk away with it, and that's largely what I'm basing my confidence on. But I can't possibly account for the mind-set of an American people that will, at the end of the day decide the whole thing. In terms of political nouse it's a Democrat landslide, in terms of appealing to the American people, I think you maybe right, although you're obviously far better judged than I am to really know.
