the question is whether mccain can close the gap by november.
the economy will probably look far different in october/november in which case he has a chance. if there's still bad news though, you can write the republican's off.
dems are going to pick up house and senate seats regardless.
just saw a story on pbs newshour about the "purple" commonwealth of virginia.

Was very interesting seeing Obama "kick off" his campaign in southwest VA the other day. He got some attention with his health care reform (don't see that program working, but I can't claim much knowledge regarding that area) and more clean coal energy (really hit a homerun there) but his single biggest obstacle in winning over the VA vote, especially in the rural areas, is gun control. That will be his biggest downfall as far as losing voters in VA...IMO
