#1 For like the last three or five presidential races, the Democrats were always ahead of the Republicans by at least ten points right after the conventions. For them to be tied right now is starting to look like Obama is going to tank, if not as badly as McGovern, then close.

#2 Does this mean we should prepare ourselves for those lame "I'm Sorry" websites?

#3 "Obama needed to define himself," Lake said. "I do think that during the Democratic convention we should have done a better job of defining McCain."

he's had 19 months - now it's John's job - Mr. Alinsky.

#4 "Obama needed to define himself...

Now that's an accurate assessment. If anyone knows who the real OB is, will you please stand up? OB is a characature, and the donks are worshiping what and who they think he is and represents.

The real OB is starting to surface, I think. Those "GW flubs" in front of the microphone are as much part of who he really is as the weariness of the campaign trail. I thought it interesting when the debates started...what was it 10 years ago?...that he was consistently unimpressive. I attributed it to unease on the national stage, not quite having the talking points down, etc..

I now think that that is who he is. He may be shallower than even the trunks think. We will see.

#7 Obama is generic democrat + non-threatening black. The combination really appealed to some folks but at the end of the day they want to know who the person is and obama has yet to really provide that. To even mention anything on his resume is played as if he were being attacked leaving nothing to talk about except hope.

#10 He has Sarah P camping out between his ears, and Michele Obama camping out just outside his ears.
The guy couldn't hear a freight train coming.
