It's the only hope, but alas McCain appears to have already given up & resigned himself to the loss. And that's why those who even bother to show up for the rallies are starting to turn on him. The difference now is that hoping against hope that he was more than expected has pretty much faded.
Unless he grows a pair in the next few days & decides he actually wants to make an effort to win, it's over put a fork in him. Losing by landslide proportions might even be a strong possible if he doesn't step it up several notches. Unmotivated voters could very well stay home in big numbers if the Chan Gailey of GOP candidates doesn't get it together.
On a sidenote, somebody remind me what happens to the Nov. election if McCain were to, say, keel over dead between now & then? I'm thinking he remains on the ballots at this point but to be honest I'm not sure off hand. Is there some policy that covers all 50 states under federal law or would individual state laws dictate how that would be dealt with?
