Chait’s analysis strikes me as not only possible, but probable. So while we’re on the subject of Rovian bank-shot politics, I will respectfully note that Obama leads Mike Huckabee by 16.6 percent in the latest head-to-head polls–a full 13 points more than his margin over McCain. Perhaps the time has come, Senator, to start criticizing McCain for opposing a “right-to-life amendment” and failing to advance past the beginner stage on his bass guitar. You can even throw around the name “Chuck Norris.”
McCain will never know what hit him.
