John McCain Is President Of Meaningless Hypothetical Matchup Poll!

Was Barack Obama's ambitious race speech effective, or did it just make the Average American question his Muslim religion all over again? According to the latest Rasmussen daily tracking poll, John McCain leads Obama 49% to 42% and Hillary Clinton 51% to 41% in hypothetical matchups. This dumb SURGE! in popularity McCain has seen recently means nothing -- eventually (cross yr fingers!) all vaguely liberal and moderate voters will realize that he is the worst imaginable candidate for anyone on Earth, or in space. On the other hand, maybe Barack should play up his, uh, "Kansas side" a little more. Play nine holes of golf or some such. [ Rasmussen ]
