The Man Has A Point

Why the hell isn't this story front-page news? McSame is only 6 points up in his home state of Arizona and has been steadily losing support there for 12 months now. But Obama is the one in trouble? (h/t AmericaBlog)

Let's just, for a moment, imagine the polls in Illinois showed Obama only ahead of McCain by 5 or 6 points. That would cause a frenzy in the political punditry. A frenzy. The latest poll in Illinois showed Obama leading by a 15 point margin: 55% - 40%.

McCain, on the other hand, is only ahead by 6 points: 47% - 41%. He's not even breaking 50% and barely breaking 45%. That's why John McCain has to campaign in his home state. Arizona is the place where McCain has most of his houses. The people who know him best don't really like him.

But of course, McSame being up 6 points is good for McSame. Obama being up 15 points in his home state is proof that he's losing. The Village has spoken.
