Pollsters are coming to some concrete conclusions about the presidential race, and the obvious one is that the big battleground states are swinging to the McCain/Palin ticket.
The Obama campaign must stop McCain/Palin in Michigan or Pennsylvania. The Republican ticket will take Ohio. So as Meatloaf sang, two out of three ain't bad for McCain/Palin.
The South is being written off. McCain/Palin has Florida. Virginia is slipping away from Sen. Obama.
The Democratic ticket must win Iowa, New Mexico, Nevada and Colorado to keep its hopes alive -- along with Michigan kept out of the McCain/Palin column.
Strategists who claim that the current financial crisis on Wall Street and Main Street will help Obama are mistaken. McCain has been ranting the populist cry, "throw the rascals out!" Even the financial analysts on CNBC cannot agree on who and what are at fault here. So McCain's definitive cry is going to carry voter emotions.
Gov. Sarah Palin will continue to advance the ticket based on personal history and public record. Troopergate will not hurt the campaign. Her upcoming debate appearance will clinch her spot of credibility in most voter minds. Dem VP nominee Sen. Joe Biden will not know how to respond to her.
These are some of the cold, hard conclusions with seven weeks to go. It's McCain's race to lose.
