10 Days!

We are finally down to the last 10 days. There seems to be some GOP infighting going on- always a good sign. Obama is back on the trail after visiting his grandmother in Hawaii. It will be interesting to see what he has to say on Wenesday in his 1/2 hour commercial. Polls are still coming in nicely for Obama but I would imagine that they will tighten soon.

The conventional wisdom is that McCain is losing because of the economy and there's not much he could have done. I think that McCain is largely responsible for his own demise and could have won this race (assuming he won't , of course). He had a huge head start on Obama in the general election and he did little to compete with the Obama-Hillary drama. Also, he blew big event after big event, including every debate and his convention speech. Ultimately, though, I think that McCain's biggest blunder was Palin. It's obvious she isn't qualified and he should have known it. He probably did, but gave into pressure from his advisors. That made him look: 1. desperate 2. weak 3. small.
