Barack Obama's public image has eroded this summer amid a daily onslaught of attacks from Republican rival John McCain, leaving the race for the White House statistically tied, according to a Los Angeles Times/Bloomberg poll released today.
Far more voters say McCain has the right experience to be president, the poll found. More than a third have questions about Obama's patriotism.
His "public image has eroded?" Excuse me? What has the man done to bring about this [alleged] change of fortune besides present himself as an informed, engaging, respectful and inspiring candidate for president of the United States? As the Ghost says, America is the only country in the world in which Obama might have trouble getting elected.
I blame the media, whose chief interest is in the horse race, as opposed to the integrity of the election, the enlightenment of the electorate or the good of the country.
