I agree with Ebbie yet again. I think McCain, either on his own or through his servants for whom he takes responsibility, has pretty much blown it this weekend. Obama has gone on the world stage - by orchestrating a world tour with great skill. McCain could never get such a reception.

Obama should never have even thought to see wounded soldiers during a campaign show - it would have seemed crass and manipulative beyond belief, and McCain's campaign would have said so.

McCain could have gone and voted on the bailout yesterday, and just said I am here working, and addressing real issues at home, good for Obama. This would have given him some of the Truman factor - the buck stops here; stalwart acheiver with a working record still ongoing. Instead he has let himself appear as a lonely sniper.

Amos posted an excerpt from the Scotsman yesterday that said it all well in the last sentence. This election is all about Obama. He will convince enough people to trust him, despite any real record, or he won't. If he doesn't, McCain gets the Presidency by default.
