yes, except replace soccer ball with poll results


While I wasn’t planning on writing today, I came across a piece of news that I felt needed to be posted ASAP. Today at the gym I saw out of the corner of my eye that McCain had dropped to the third place choice among a subset of voters, behind Fred Thompson and polling 12%. Because closed captioning obscured the title of the poll, I assumed it was the results for Thompson’s home state or some obscure GOP think tank straw poll. When I checked online, however, it turns out that the poll I saw was the most recent Bloomberg/LA Times survey, taken among likely Republican primary voters nationwide. Put lightly this is very, very bad news for the McCain camp. Indeed, if these numbers hold, I cannot imagine McCain continuing the race I feel for McCain; he has been a great leader and is a national hero, and he probably got totally jacked in 2000. That said , I predict that within the next two months barring a dramatic unforeseen, McCain will cite health reasons and resign from the race. Thoughts? - DER
