"As recently as July 4, even the most loyal Republicans privately expected the summer to go badly for their candidate. Sen. Obama had already opened a lead over Mr. McCain. He would proceed to raise far more money than his opponent and then spend heavily on advertising, increasing his lead. Reaching Denver ahead by five or 10 points, Mr. Obama would leave with a lead well into double digits. Republicans would then find themselves preparing to undergo the exquisite agony in St. Paul of putting up a brave front while the mainstream media looked on and chortled."
But it didn't happen that way, did it?
Now, Obama's lead is only in single digits, John McCain has anointed a new conservative star and put her on his ticket, conservatives are energized, and who knows what will happen in this election. Makes it all pretty interesting, doesn't it?
