McCain's recovery plan
This is - and the key phrase is this:
"Powered chiefly by the public's economic concerns, Obama leads John McCain by 10 points among likely voters, 53%-43%, in this ABC News/Washington Post poll. Though every race is different, no presidential candidate has come back from an October deficit this large in pre-election polls dating to 1936."
So here is how he does it:
1 the markets begin to recover (apparently done)
2 he has a good debate on Wednesday
3 the nation wakes up to the fact that Democrats are about to be in control of Congress (no serious person thinks the Republicans can take back either house) and the White House. This is a slow burner for the last week or so of the campaign but I think it's worth 2 or 3 percent for McCain.
It is straight talk: "OK - you don't like me much, but do you seriously want the nation to be run, unchecked, by Obama and his left-wing pals?"
I wonder whether it might bring Virginia back on board - or Ohio.
