Good points. I'd like to hear that and more from Obama. He's done very well at explaining his motivation for going certain ways on issues. With this he hasn't.

Worst of all, why flip? What's the payoff? Take a damn stand.

This isn't too surprising when you consider they have recently elected a Democratic governor and senator. Still, good to see another state that could switch.

The only way the climate gets worse for McCain in Ohio is if Marc Dann throws him a kegger fundraiser and barnstorms the state in the Straight Talk Express while drunk on Jaeger and not wearing pants. Clearly this is not beyond the question.

At this point just chalking it up to being senile might play better.

This is what decades in the senate gets you, the inability to talk precisely and like a normal human being. McCain bears a striking resemblance to John Kerry, in that neither can speak artfully. It's partly why so few senators make it to the White House. And it's only going to get worse for McCain; he's just not ready for primetime.

It's inept, bumbling meetings like this that make me sad to be a Democrat. Grow a pair.

Talk about entertaining. Biden would relish being the attack dog. Giuliani is still hurting from the noun-verb-9/11 soundbite.

Six months of having the voters choose a nominee? Meh. It makes much more sense to pick one based on inconclusive polling.

Obama is going after McCain's supposed Straight Talking strength. If McCain loses that edge, well, the lights could go down on this election pretty early.
