Obama’s lead is only 1.52%
July 31, 2008Voters seem not to want Obama but McCain must close the deal
After wall to wall coverage in the press of Obama’s trip, and the shambles that passes for the McCain campaign, John McCain is less than two points behind. My take on the situation is that voters have decided that Obama is simply too inexperienced and too left-liberal for America. However, they do not want a third term of Bush and want some evidence that McCain is strong enough to chart his own course once President. Picking anyone whose second name isn’t Palin, Jindal, Fiorina, Romney or Pawlentry will probably do the trick but there is one choice that could seal victory – namely Joe Lieberman. Although some on the right will gag, if hardcore Republicans are prepared to make their peace with Clinton then they will in the end stomach Lieberman.
