Every account I have read of the candidates' performance in front of Pastor Rick Warren's congregation scored the night a victory for John McCain. I expect that Obama will get a bump from his announcement of a running mate and the Democratic convention. I doubt McCain will get the same bump since the coverage for him won't be nearly so flattering. But McCain is slowly building momentum. Now he needs a solid veep pick and I think the election will be his.
Expect the media to launch an 'October Surprise' against McCain like they did with the 'news' of George Bush's drunk driving arrest (circa 1972) in 2000. That one didn't work. I do recall that the Iran-Contra special prosecutor, Lawrence Walsh, also handed down indictments against figures in that scandal (Cap Weinberger and John Poindexter, if memory serves) in October of 1992. But I think that Ross Perot cost Bush 41 the election, not Lawrence Walsh.
I hope that my prediction holds because I sincerely believe that Barack Obama is a dangerous choice for president.
Also, to put things in perspective, here's an item I cribbed from Chuck Muth's News 'n Views:
Number of years of military service:
John McCain: 22
Barack Obama: 0
Time in Congress:
John McCain: 9,490 days
Barack Obama: 143 days

SAW WHAT YOU WROTE ABOUT HEATH LEDGER. GO FUCK YOURSELF, HOMOPHOBE!!!!!
Heath Ledger’s family have spoken out about the actor’s tragic death. Standing outside their Perth home yesterday, Heath’s father Kim, mother Sally and his sister Kate had the following to say:
Heath’s family confirms the very tragic, untimely and accidental passing of our dearly loved son, brother and doting father of Matilda. He was found peacefully asleep in his New York apartment by his housekeeper at 3:30 p.m. U.S. time.
We would like to thank our friends and everyone around the world for their well wishes and kind thoughts at this time. Heath has touched so many people on so many different levels during his short life but few had the pleasure of truly knowing him.
He was a down to earth, generous, kind-hearted, life-loving and selfless individual who was extremely inspirational to many. Please now respect our family’s need to grieve and come to terms with our loss privately.
