"... on one hand I don't see how McCain can win. On the other hand, when McCain or surrogates can run ads that quote Obama saying he never missed a Sunday at church and then quote him saying after the Wright scandal broke that he had no idea the kind of nonsense that was preached there and then can ask something like 'don't the American people deserve to know which statement is not true?' - well, it's hard to see how Obama can win... it's obvious Obama is lying, possibly in order to hide an extremist agenda, possibly just for the sake of winning... and it's obvious McCain may be too old to out run the deathly influence of the Bush legacy or reinvent a party that looks to be in desperate need of reinvention... I suppose Obama could win if he continues to dissemble as adroitly as he has so far... then again the lethality of the Bush miasma could be significantly mitigated by interceding events which suddenly make McCain seem not so very old at all..."
