It's not even the economy that will cause McCain to lose by a massive landslide {if you believe polls}.
The fact that McCain is from the same party as one of the most umpopular presidents of all time, is a factor. And McCain not distancing himself from that president really hurt him.
The fact McCain seems out of touch with reality a times and has problems relating to the average citizen, while his opponent has a charisma and can put on a great show that he can relate, has hurt McCain fa more than the economy.
The fact McCain doesn't come through and show a true economic plan that can work, again hurts him.
But the biggest hurt is that McCain for whatever reason, runs this campaign like he wants to lose is the major factor.
I think if he had a better economic plan, could relate better had distanced himself FAR from Bush and showed more compassion for the people, this election would be far closer than the blowout it will be.
