This is Obama's election to lose, and for whatever reason he seems increasingly hellbent on doing so. If he manages to pull off this feat, one only slightly less impressive than losing an election to Walter Mondale, this will be the third consecutive presidential election the Democrats have blown by nominating a candidate who makes himself odious to vast swathes of Middle America. I remain deeply skeptical about McCain's electability and Republican fortunes more broadly, but lately Obama has been reinforcing all of his negatives. He should stop believing his own press releases and go back to selling change someone can believe in.
