This is the kind of thing which should be causing McCain's net favorability to erode and his support to fall. He's conducting himself unworthy of the office he seeks
There's Obama, conducting himself with civility and dignity, as he has done throughout , yet he's no more well thought of

It's because many already have their opinions made of him. I asked my Kerry voter sister once if she would "vote for Obama" and she laughed and said, "Hell no...Terrorist!" My grandparents are fully convinced that he is indeed a muslim, and 20-30% of Americans agree with them or are unsure. Also, he is black and that hurts him among "White Working Class" voters.
Of my family that I know is voting...atleast 5-8 of my uncles, grandparents, cousins, ect who all voted for John Kerry will either not vote and stay home or cringe and vote McCain. One of those family members is in New Jersey...not Ohio.
Even though it seems insignificant...I can add just eight Kerry votes to either the "stay home" or "John McCain" category. Every family like that will make a difference.
Your family kinda sucks
Hey...they have been loyal democrats for decades!
Yeah.. and my late Grandmother was a loyal Republican her whole life until she voted for Al Gore in 2000 because she didn't like Bush. It was an anecdote.. and she was an exception. That's all.
