In my humble opinion, the "experts" have totally missed the essential reason why Obama isn't resonating with the public in terms of the presidential race.
Obama looks like a typical errogant sports figure or Hollywood star (who takes himself far too seriously) traveling around the globe spouting politically correct leftwing platitudes, with the lapdog media in tow. The Media have actually succeeded in their goal, making Obama a "rock star", but to their surprise, I believe, it has shown he is definitely NOT presidential material. It's funny, and ironic, and the talking heads have totally missed this.
McCain looks like a presidential candidate who has wisdom about how to run a war and a country, and deal with the democrats in the House and Senate. He has reasonable ideas about the energy crisis, he is mature enough to change his views on the issue, due to the current high cost of fuel, our obvious and dangerous dependence on foreign oil, and he is in step with the majority of the American people on this.
In addition, McCain has a sense of humor. Unlike the "experts" negative analysis of his TV appearance at a German restaurant (while the globe trotting Obama spoke in Berlin), and McCain's visit to the town of Bethlemem here in the US, (while Obama was over in Israel praying at the great wall), I believe McCain's "strategery" was quite smart.
So, this is the way I see it, and I believe I am right, and the "experts" are wrong, and they may be very surprised come November.
