No, they need to focus more on the easier target, John McCain, who also happens to be the Presidential candidate.

Recent polls and Intrade are not out of synch if you accept the premise that McCain will pick up the majority ('70%' was espoused on Meet the Press today) of the 'undecided' vote come election day. If so, the dead heats we've been seeing in raw poll numbers are indicative of a slight McCain...

No, it's not. It sounds like the ramblings of a lunatic.

I don't know. Attributional bias?

She "performed" A) like she didn't know what Charles Gibson was talking about. B) like she hasn't given much thought to foreign policy matters in general. C) like someone who has been cramming right before a test, rather than studying all along.

How many of McCain's advisors are?

I formerly lived on a predominately Muslim street in the Kensington section of Brooklyn, NY. I can assure you that my neighbors directed very little energy toward dominating my white ass.
