USA Today:

Obama holds a 47%-43% edge over McCain among registered voters and a 48%-45% edge among likUSA Todayely voters. Both leads are within the margin of error of +/—4 percentage points.

To this, Bob Cesca points out:

The previous numbers showed McCain 49, Obama 45.

Why can’t McBush close the deal?

So why is it the former POW, maverick, 25 year veteran of the Senate, “foreign policy expert” can’t close the deal against the “latte sipping, muslim, ultra liberal, defeatist, terrorist sympathizer, elitist, non-experienced” Barack Obama?

McCain has decades of being a house hold name, that is very much loved by the media. Obama is the new kid on the block. While people say Obama should be way out ahead, I keep thinking why? You got a new brand going against a long term brand. Let’s also not forget that this is the first black man running on a major party ticket for POTUS in our history.

So media – why isn’t McCain crushing Obama?
