How McCain Wins?

In today’s state of the Presidential race, Barack Obama wins the Presidency with 286 electoral college votes. Since last week when financial news has dominated the race, John McCain has cratered in the polls.

Can John McCain come back and win this race?

Perhaps but it will be an uphill battle.

McCain has fumbled the ball in the red zone by not “dealing” with the financial crisis when he had the opportunity pre-debate Friday. He left the campaign trail to return to Washington, suspended his campaign and had an opportunity to “own” the issue. The bailout plan is a disaster and not supported by a majority of American voters, yet McCain says hold your nose and support it. No leadership there – just more of the same.

As voters become more comfortable with a President Obama and McCain offers nothing different, undecided voters will flock to the Democrat. Voters want change from the Bush Administration of inaction and then another “screw-up.”

McCain has offered none of the above and will lose.
