Sen. John McCain’s sinking campaign needs some drama to propel him on the road to the White House - or for Barack Obama’s surging bid to implode under scrutiny - if he’s to pull off another come-from-behind victory, one of the nation’s leading pollsters says.

“John McCain probably needs an outside event to win the White House,” pollster Scott Rasmussen told the Herald. “He’s a little bit like a football team in the fourth quarter, down by a couple of touchdowns. You can’t make it all up in one play. And you still need a break or two.”

“Obama is clearly the favorite. His lead has been amazingly steady,” Rasmussen said.

But the best chance for a McCain rally could be out of the Arizona Republican’s hands and instead may depend on the turbulent economy.

“The race changed with the economic meltdown,” Rasmussen said. “It changed from being about Obama and McCain to being a referendum on the Bush administration, which is bad for Republicans everywhere.”

1. The last few Hail Marys havent worked so well

Doubt another would be any less disastrous than the previous attempts.

3. They are pretty entertaining though.

I, for one, hope he tries a few more.

4. ROFL @ McTheuselah

Best nickname yet for that cretin. :) :thumbsup:

[Frank Booth]

5. Yeah. Someone else posted it in the "favorite nickname" thread, and it was

so great I had to rip it off.

It's definitely my favorite.

6. I really hate to see articles like this - I fear for Obama's very life.

[Frank Booth]

7. Huh? You don't like articles that say Obama's heavily favored to win?

I don't get it.

[Booster]

9. I love it that Obama's heavily favored to win, but I just hope one

of these articles doesn't push some nutcase over the edge - or Bush himself. We know what that bunch is capable of doing and I would imagine Cheney wants martial law right about now.

11. A nutcase could strike at any time, so I just try not to worry about it.

San Gabriel=Chinese food=Yum.

13. HaHa.. I just went to a new (to me) Chinese restaurant the other

day and it was fabulous. Chang's Garden, actually in Arcadia.

8. If there are any violent acts that come out of the hatred and violence

That Republicans are inciting their crowds to it will be towards McCain or Palin. Some of these people are mentally disturbed and if McCain doesn't put a stop to it it will be he or Palin who are the victims. Hopefully somebody with an IQ over 5 steps in and puts a stop to this madness before anything like that happens to anybody.

10. isn't this about the time

that W releases one of his bin Laden bootlegs he's been sittin' on for the past few years?
