One quick thing about Obama and Democrats......
(and please don't take this as random flaming, but I'm not joking about this):
Despite the fact that the party is to the contrary (or appears to be), there are alot of Democrats in my area that are racists. I know quite a few people that, should Obama get nominated, will not vote for him. This *could* play into an issue for some voters. I'm sure this margin is not very large, but atleast where I live, there are a few people (Ohio, btw) that are VERY ANGRY that Obama has somehow jumped up from a double digit deficit, to start manhandling Hiliary. And I'm not talking just random Dems, but party-line dems, and even a few County Leaders.
McCain is just enough nutzo and enough of a moderate, he *might* be able to capture this part of the vote.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
