This is grasping at straws.  The veep crap, the lame-o-meter-through-the-ceiling "congrats" ad, the bitchfest about the columns, etc.  It's really quite pathetic.

Which is why I'm inclined to think Gallup's polling matches McCain's internal polling.  The Democratic convention has gone pretty damned well.  Michelle and Hillary kicked ass.  Joey and Billeh were quite good (and their effect hasn't been felt yet).  And it's probably a safe bet that Obama's not going to be awful.

I could be wrong.  Maybe they just want attention.  But these sure are the signs you look for when you want to know if the opponent is frightened.
