(July 7)When you ask Americans what word comes to mind when they think of John McCain, there's a good chance they'll say this: (SOT: DAN OLSEN/SARASOTA, FL)(13;18:53) OLD. I GOTTA SAY OLD.Ask the same question about Barack Obama and you'll probably hear this:(SOT: VICTOR FORMAN/BALTIMORE, MD)(13;22:04) I THINK OF CHANGEAn AP-Yahoo poll of more than 17-hundred Americans put those two responses about the presidential candidates at the top of the list.19-percent picked "old" for the Republican. 20-percent picked "change" or "outsider" for the Democrat.Nine percent gave this response to McCain.(SOT: TRAVIS CHIPLE /BALTIMORE, MD)(13:11:02) I THINK PRISONER OF WAR.

Electorally speaking, McCain is in deep trouble. Obama is ahead or very competitive in North Carlina, Colorado, Georgia [yikes], New Mexico, Montana, the Dakotas and Virginia. All states Bush won, and sometimes handily in 2004.

Apparently Fantasy Football has generated off spring of the political kind. That McCain [ down 49-40 in the most recent Gallup and challenging in states that went overwhelmingly for Bush in 2004] failed to gain ground after securing his nomination months before Obama did [ while Obama and Clinton were throwing wolverine cubs at each other] is a more compelling narrative.

[CBERASTUS]

I think it is safe to say at this point...Obama is a sinking ship. He should be miles ahead of McCain in the polls this early in the game - considering all of the attention he garnered battling Hillary. However, he is in a statistical dead-heat with McCain. This is the beginning of the end for Obama
