Ramo: The biggest thing that Obama has to overcome is the usual Republican gain from now until November. The states he is close in may well become Republican in a few months... McCain has the unenviable task of attempting to sail between Scylla and Caribdis. On one hand, he has to sail right in order to pick up the base of the party and especially its big doners. On the other hand, he has to sail to the middle to coax the independants and moderates away from Obama. IMHO, not only can't he do it, he won't be able to come close to doing it.

He won't get crushed the way Dukakis and Goldwater did, but there's going to be a tidal shift in the electorate and he's going to be buried.
