we’re less than a week away from the actual voting and the race seems much more up in the air than it was a month, let alone three, ago.

I seem to recall that happened four years ago too.

Heh. A few days ago somebody referred to him as a "comeback kid." I took note of McCain's age and suggested calling him a kid of any kind was probably not appropriate.

A "principled man who exudes honesty and character" in American politics? How about a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow?

McCain comeback huh? I saw the movie - "the Return of the Monster"

Some sequels just don't cut it. What we are witnessing is an absolute circus as a result of a party in meltdown mode. The base is bouncing around looking for true conservative leadership in the form of a principled man who exudes honesty and character and they can't find it in this - big tent - liberal lite - don't know what they stand for - media driven -party.

300 million people in this country and this is all we have to choose from - because Lieberman (90% liberal) likes him?

As I've said before, it's not that McCain is having a 'comeback' moment - he's just got enough experience in political competition at this level to know when to keep his head down & his mouth shut, letting his competition self-destruct.

I have to say, the events in Pakistan - a blaring reminder of what is going on in the world and the challenges America will be facing in years to come - have certainly made John McCain seem more attractive than he's ever been...

“new survey of an oversized sample”

Further proving what an idiot Bob Novak is--an "oversized" sample of 15,000 doesn't necessarily make a poll any more valid than the "normal" size. The fact that Novak doesn't even identify the "private corporate interest" which commissioned the poll nor that he doesn't provide relevant information like the margin of error makes any interpretation of the numbers meaningless.
