For all of you that are watching 'the polls' that tell you, here in May, who's 'more likely' to win the General Election against McCain in November, I'm going to lay a prediction down for you all.
Now, I'm seldom wrong about most things (IMHO), although I'm occasionally misconstrued for trying to say something in too few or too many words. So I'm going to go out on a limb and lay this out double-plus-good clear;
"Within a MONTH of the Democratic candidate for President being confirmed, McCain will trail the Democrat by no less than 5 points, and it will be nothing but downhill for McCain from there."*
I say this with the understanding that the corporate media will do their level best to elevate McCain above his own ineptitude and unpopular positions, and knowing that there will be many different polls. I'll even be willing to bet the average of those polls will bear this out.
I just believe that when the ambiguity of the primary is washed away, and one, competent and substantial candidate is presented to the American people, they will acknowledge not only their viability, but the drastically optimistic message they will bring in contrast to McCain.
As most of you know, I believe that Obama will bring a straight ticket bloodbath to Republicans this November. I have little doubt that Clinton would cream him as well. Either Way, McCain and the Republicans are toast.
* Barring a catastrophe, of course.
