Thought

McCain's not losing this race by one or two battleground states, places where he can pour in resources to make up a few points. He's losing this election across the board, and he needs 4-6 points in the national polls to even start to look competitive.

That's a different (and bigger) kinda problem 30 days out.

(The tracking polls are still at 6-8%, and McCain's off the trail today and tomorrow. Obama's in Virginia.)
