With a week left before Election Day, today's news is dominated by Obama:

Democrats dominate early voting

Obama ridicules McCain charge he's socialist

Obama's (30-minute) infomercial

...and also McCain hits Obama on experience, economy

That can't be good for McCain, who needs the spotlight on him in order to get his message across in the final days and actually sway some voters to his side.

So: thoughts?  Does McCain have a chance?  Is Obama's infomercial more to steal air time or promote his message?

This however... does look good for McCain...

At this point Obama's got the election, but dont count your chicks too quick. (they may not all hatch)

FWIW, Rasmussen uses a Traditional voting model, which doesn't count the multitude of voters registered since 2006 which lean heavily in Obama's favor.

Your completely right... but either way Obama is losing ground, if only in traditional voting brackets.
