John McCain has not been able to get past 44 in the polls. He can try to beat up Obama as much as he wants, but it doesn't seem to help him significantly increase his own share in the polls.
What McCain desperately needs at this point is someone to take votes away from Obama that ISN'T John McCain, because John McCain probably can't. He needs a third party candidate. It's just a matter of time before he starts referencing third-party candidates - most likely Ralph Nader - in his press in an effort to elevate their visibility.



I think Barr would do far more damage to the GOP hopes and Nader would to the Democrats, if only because of what happened in 2000.
I'm an idiot only on very special occasions...
