Bar fluctuations from week to week like Mikado said, I think last week was the point in time when the election conclusively, definitively broke for Obama. The ineptitude on show in McCain campaign the past 7 days shows the direction in which this is floating, because it just seems as if McCain's lost the initiative and become a reactionary, instead of the candidate which defines the issues that are to be fought over.
Time will bear me out, but I do think that he's drawn himself into the same sinkhole that Gore and Kerry did, where they're basically relying on a game-changing event to turn this thing around. If Pawlenty comes out grinning today with his arm around McCain it truly is over, the campaign can't afford an unoffensive, insipid choice like that.
