You pretty much said everything that's been floating around in my brain for the last few days, and then some.  I really can't wait until some serious polling is done post-debate-gate.  Would it be unimaginable for Obama to open up a 5-8 point lead (going by Gallup which has it tied right now)?  I think not.

Once again, McCain caught his party and his talking points puppets off guard because no one had a clear "voice" in trying to spin the campaign suspension.  This also happened after the Palin pick.  McCain picks Palin, and no one in the Pub punditry knew how to sell her.  It took them about 2 days to get their act together (at which point, she was pimped out like a 2 dollar whore).  Yesterday, McCain suspends the campaign, and today, the only positive thing people can say about McCain's move is that McCain is (yet again) a "maverick" for doing what he does.

As I said yesterday, this is a blood-in-the-water-moment.& nbsp; The MSM, the blogosphere, the American voter, everyone, EVERYONE should start asking serious questions about McCain's thought process and his ability to lead.  And Obama needs to make the "two things at once" line into his new campaign slogan.  It needs to be on signs.  It needs to be on buttons.  It needs to be a banner across his website.  I almost wish he could pull a Carole Keeton Strayhorn* and ask that his name on the ballot be printed as Barack "Two Things at Once" Obama.


*She's Scott McClelland's mom and when she ran for governor of Texas and wanted her name on the ballot to read "Grandma" because she had been married so many times, she never had the same last name from one election to another.
