If "The Chosen One" cannot win this election, I wonder the implications that it will have for American politics.  While there are lies, damn lies and statistics, the latest Gallup Poll just has me confused.

And as at Middle Relief we try to find the middle ground ... I need a good nickname for Mr. McCain.  Any ideas?  Perhaps Dr. House?
