John McCain ran a poor campaign, plain and simple. Many pundits feel McCain’s efforts were so poor the Bob Dole campaign looked good in comparison. There was hope for Republicans when Sarah Palin joined the ticket but the sudden rock star status turned negative quickly as the press began to hammer her abilities and credentials. After the Republican convention McCain got a bump in number, overtaking Obama for roughly a week, and then the reality of the financial crisis set in. Today, Obama leads McCain by 7 to 9 points.
The party is over, and the McCain camp knows it. Word came out today that the McCain campaign will be discontinuing ads / campaigning in the state of Michigan – a battleground state. If McCain had a chance, would he be pulling back the troops?
Unless there is a drastic change of events, come election day, I suspect Obama will be winning by a wide margin.
