His base is his base, the 25%-30% of the people who would vote for Ronald Reagan's stuffed corpse. That's not going to win him the election.
The Obama campaign scored a hit on Clinton by going after Mark Penn. They should be putting Gramm and Thain in the spotlight soon.
Very bad polling news for McCain this week: He's behind in Indiana according to a Selzer poll. That's seriously bad. There's absolutely no way he wins if he even has to fight in Indiana. With the exception of 1964, Indiana has gone Republican in every presidential race since 1940. 10% behind in Colorado? 8% back in N. Mexico?
I'd have to say that as the financial system melts down, people outside his base are less and less impressed with his economic acumen.
