  Winners

  I don't think that Obama's crew of advisors have underestimated McCain as much as some of Obama's followers have.

  Good point. Plus it is time for Dems to realize that no matter who debates a Repub the pundits will, overall, declare the Republican the winner. The RW media will always declare victory and the LW media will always criticize any flaws they see, real or imagined, and though while honest instead of just being cheerleaders, it equates to a win for McCain.

  We can't freak out when it's inevitable.

  If it had been Hillary up there, we'd be hearing that she was shrill, her voice would be either to high or too low, she'd be accused of pandering or laughing inappropriately. Oh, and look at the color of her suit, was there cleavage?

  Because it's Obama, it's he too nuanced, not direct enough, not as "comfortable" as McCain was. Why does he pause when he's thinking? Why is he mentioning his wife? He's accused of pandering.

  I can do the same thing with any of the earlier Democratic candidates against McCain who is seen as doing so much "better" than anyone expected, just like Bush was before him.

  If you look at the actual state polling, not the contrived national polls (that had Guiliani being the Repub nominee) it's not looking bad for Obama at all. In fact, it looks pretty good. Cheer up.
