October 24th, it's a near tie with Kerry 253 and Bush 254. Kerry loses his slip for a couple days but rebounds on October 31st, Kerry 283 Bush 246. The election day is in sight. It's going to be November 2nd in just a couple days, how could that lead change?

In the end, it was Kerry 251 to Bush 286. And now you see why I give not much credence to the polling.

Thank you for putting that all together. I can now enjoy your avatar again.

McCain can win by putting "Country First", as he says. He can best serve the country by first firing Palin, and then he can step down from the campaign himself and then voting for Obama on election day.

When Obama wins, the whole country, including McCain will win. That is how McCain can win.

Remember : Obama supporters please vote November 4th! All others, please vote November 5th!

The only way that McCain can pull this election out is by swift-boating Obama. I hate to say it, but I fully expect the McCain camp to engage in an all out swift-boat campaign fully of swift-boat lies and deception to try to fool the voters again.
I hope McCain has more integrity than the engage in that, but if I was a betting man, I see it coming.

Is that the best chance Obama has to win?

No need to fool people. The problem is Obama followers apparently don't care about the truth.

Jamie Kalven, a longtime Chicago housing activist, put it this way: “I hope there is not much predictive value in his history and in his involvement with that community.”

The only thing I can think of that might turn the tide now is if Obama makes some terrible faux pas in either of the two remaining debates.
Even if he turns out a lackluster performance and McCain does wonderfully, I don't think it would be enough to save McCain.
Obama would have to do or say something dreadful to actually turn the tide in mcCain's favor at this point.
I hope Obama'll just... you know, keep his wits about him and say as little as possible during the debates. He needs to keep his responses short and concise. The more Obama talks, the greater chance he'll accidentally say something wrong (like anyone else).
At this point, it won't matter if he doesn't *sparkle*, if he doesn't dominate.
He needs to say as little as possible, and let McCain do most of the talking. Give mccain plenty of rope to hang himself with.

No, I would say the best chance for Obama to win is that the almost two to one registered Democrat voters get out and punch his name on November 4th. The electoral college will follow suit.

Nothing short of an act from God will prevent Obama from winning. Well apart from a most severe Swiftboating, which appears to have been started by Palin yesterday. Desperate times calls for desperate measures.
