It's really mind-boggling that the B team running the McCain operation is ceding such a massive on-the-ground strategic advantage to the Obama campaign.

(Crossposted from Bilerico-Indiana where we're covering the national and state elections heavily.) The Obama campaign released a new television ad ye...

Considering that McCain continues to trail significantly, it's hard to see his path to victory when he's so out-gunned on the ground and running such a nonsensical strategy of which states to target or defend.

Since I was wrong, who do you think it will be? And when do you think Obama will make the announcement? I still think it will be Bayh, I was just wrong on my timing.

Bayh is one of the few top picks without baggage. Known for his Midwestern centrism and easy political style, he could stand tall on the issues du jour for the benefit of battleground blue-collar voters.

While Washington Post columnist Chris Cillizza has positioned Bayh at the top of the heap for a few weeks now, after getting tips and making some logical conclusions the choice is obvious. Why?

It is McCain who needs to score exceptionally well among white voters, better in fact than any other Republican presidential candidate in the past 20 years, including George H. W. Bush.

"GM won't change anything until they have every operation overseas," says Danny. "This started back in the 1980s with Reagan... We know we're not going to get any help from McCain."

Even still-enamored journalists cannot fail to notice that it would be difficult to find a candidate less suited for the times or the office than McCain right now.

Obama is on the front lines of the flood, helping residents clean up and start over. Where is McCain in this effort? Is he pitching in to help? Or is he off to another party at the Bush "ranch" in his wife's jet?

In a northern Midwestern town, at my cousin's graduation, I got a glimpse of something remarkable, something that may signal yet more troublesome news to the already troubled regiment of McCain campaign strategists.

The dream may be dying. But there is no reason that this must be her last dream. Death may be about finality, but it is also about new beginnings.
