McCain: down for the count?

Is McCain's campaign done for? Recently, with the current financial crisis, McCain has been steadily losing ground, while Obama seems to be cleaning up nicely. The distrust in Republicans, whish was lessening, has now returned full force. I mean, you can't really expect that after a nearly a decade of war, and 8 years of Texas moron, that a market crash would make the Republican party a hero, can you?

But did that really spell doom for McCain? All of the ground he recovered is quickly being sucked backed in by Obama. Even with the Republican's skillful decision in announcing Palin as VP, and with the fairly well performed debate on McCain's part, nothing seems to be stopping the slow, but steady flow of support to Obama. It seems that now, more than ever, Obama is beginning a cascade in his favor. And with the pullout from Michigan, it doesnt seem like McCain is going to hold on.

I mean, if even a trump card like Palin couldn't assure the Republicans stability, then what will?

To many states are up for graps-stated that McCain should have solidly in his grasp: states like Florida, North Carolina, Idaho, and even Indiana.

So the question is can McCain survive, or has Obama's victory already been assured?

I think that McCain is now finding himself in over his head against Obama. I completely agree that McCain's inability to sure up enought support in what should have been easily "Red States" shows his weakness in this election. I am curious just how important his withdrawal from Michigan will be.
