You know, all this BS about where Obama SHOULD be is pointless. First of all it's unverifiable. Secondly, it's irrelevant.
The fact is, he's five points ahead. The fact is, America is one of the most racist countries in the world, so if a black guy is 5% of the white guy, I might as well say that the white guy is so bad that any white opponent would be ahead by 25% if the woulda-coulda-shoulda argument has any relevance at all.
As somebody pointed out here earlier, 5% in the popular vote usually translates into a landslide in the Electoral College. To all intents and purposes, the McCain campaign is dead in the water.
But wait, McCain fans, it gets worse. McCain is a moron. 5th last in a class of 800 in a military academy. Lower than that it's almost impossible to imagine. Unless of course Palin is dragged into the equation. SHE'S so fucking dumb, they won't even let her hold press conferences in public, and they had to create special rules for her to debate Joe Biden. Biden is a smart, experienced pol and Obama, of course, as I love to keep reminding sirs et al., is a magna cum laude grad of Harvard Law, editor of its Law Review and Professor of Constitutional Law at the University of Chicago. Now we've all seen the monumental fuck-ups that the idiot McCain is capable of when left to his own devices, from the "Afghan-Iraq border," to the claim that Shi'ite Iran was sponsoring the Sunni al Qaeda in Iraq resistance fighters, to the "fundamentals of our economy are strong," etc. etc. etc. The list of his stupidities goes a long, long way. In the coming weeks, as the pressure builds on the silver-haired fraud, he's headed into the final weeks with a five-point deficit. He's already proven himself to be a fucking idiot, in spades, but there are five more weeks to go. Does anyone really think this ancient war criminal is not gonna blow it? And as to the chances of Obama making similar errors - - really, guys, he's a fucking Law Professor: what are the odds?
