I'm noticing an interesting dynamic in the Rasmussen polls. Obama is consistently beating McCain by 3-4 points; however, this lead is largely attributable to weak support from Republicans. McCain is only getting about 75% Republican support in these polls.
I think this is a positive sign because I don't think that conservatives will be able to keep their head in the sand about Barry for much longer. This guy's record is just to the left of Ted Kennedy and slightly to the right of Che Guevara.
If McCain can slowly but surely build his Republican support back to the high 80's / low 90's, he should be pretty formidable come November.
Barry is still the favorite (due to his biggest asset: the MSM), but I think McCain has a decent shot at this thing. I don't think any of the other Republican candidates would have had a snowball's chance of competing in any of the toss-up states.
