Amusing blog entry at the Christian Science Monitor by Jimmy Orr entitled “Forget Palin, McCain needs Peyton.”
Hours before the second presidential debate, Senator John McCain might want to hire a new political consultant.
Although his Sundays are booked, Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning has shown he knows how to erase a deficit – and fast.
Coming nearly five years to the day after he miraculously wiped out a a 35-14 deficit with less than five minutes on the clock, Manning pulled off another miracle this past Sunday over the hapless Texans.
. . .
If Manning were to join the team, he would probably want to start in his own backyard. The usually-secure Hoosier state was won by the current President by 21 points in 2004. McCain’s lead? Only five points – 51 to 46 percent according to a new CNN/Time Magazine/Opinion Research Corporation poll.
And five points might be generous. CNN/Time gives McCain only a 2 point lead in Indiana with Bob Barr factored into the polling. Survey USA recently had McCain +3, Research 2000 had McCain +1, and Selzer had Obama +3.
