Bye Bye Ty...

Our long national nightmare is over....

Obama and the Mainstream Theshold...

The last minute Marxism charges against Senator Obama seem like the smoking gun if you're a fan of Rush Limbaugh. If you're more of the reading Mauren Dowd type of voter it's probably registers as annoying white noise. So the question is how does the latest McCain line of attack play to the middling and undecided voters?

My sense is not very well.

Recent headlines on the right-leaning high traffic Drudgereport.com website would seem to be scandalous in the mold the Reverend Jeremiah Wright. Story after story about wealth redistribution and associations with Marxist intellectuals litter the blogosphere. Despite the toxic feel of the charges they hardly register a dent in Obama's numbers practically in the swing states where the Senator has lived for the past two months. Maybe if team McCain would have beaten this drum to define Obama in April & May the charges would have found traction and scarred voters. It's too little too late now. Senator Obama has defined himself to the American people and seemingly they have certified him mainstream "enough" to be President. That's fatal news for Senator McCain. The moment Obama met this threshold in America's conscience the election was all but over.

This election isn't about William Ayers shock headlines. It's about the sense that President Bush's policies have made a mess and someone on the other side needs to step in and clean it up. The economy is bad enough that people are more afraid of four more years of the same policies than they are of Obama's potentially checkered ideological past. There in lies the rub for McCain. Obama is now America's acceptable alternative to Bush. Sure people may have some doubts about him but they have cast their lot that in spite of some lingering doubts almost anything is better than more of the same.

I've been working for a while on a piece about the electoral map. My premise was that Colorado would be this cycles turning point state ala Florida 2000, Ohio 2004. My analysis was in depth, thoughtful and ultimately useless. With one month left until the general election the electorate is starting to really tune in and voice it's discontentment with the failures of the Bush Administration. The acceleration of the finical meltdown last week was nail meeting coffin for the McCain campaign. With one month left I'm declaring this election over. Senator Obama can proceed with measuring the drapes in the oval office. In the coming weeks I'll do an in depth electoral map prediction (I went 50 for 50 in'04) which will undoubtedly see Obama over 300 electoral votes. This is gonna be a blow out.
