Brilliant Move, Senator McCain

Great move, Senator McCain. Challenging Senator Obama to make an international visit is working so well for you. It's not like the rest of the world loves the idea of President Obama.

Lovely move, scheduling that press conference on a oil rig, and canceling due to a freaking hurricane. You'll be such a wonderful President.

Seriously, why is this even close? McCain and his campaign is acting like they want to lose, and Obama is looking very Presidential on his trip. Yet the polls are still very close. This leads to a couple of possible theories.

1. We are a nation of ignorant morons.

2. Only die-hards and masochists pay attention to the campaigns prior to the conventions.

Although I won't discount theory #1, theory #2 is probably the biggest answer (and the less depressing). If this keeps up after Denver and St. Paul, McCain will likely go the way of Barry Goldwater.
