And I will give the dem candidate a 5 also.

We wont know till the votes are counted, so both candidates have a 50-50 chance.

Yeah, yeah. But, that's not the question - the question is, what does your gut feeling say?

My gut feeling gives him a four.

Today, 5.5.

Who knows what tomorrow will bring.

John McCain’s only hope for winning is to ensure a ... disappearance of the issues which Americans continuously say are most important to them — namely, the disastrous Bush/Cheney economic policies and the need to extricate ourselves from the Iraq War.
If the actual concerns of American voters are allowed to determine the election outcome, as they did in 2006, the GOP has no chance.
Thus, the only prospect for a McCain victory is to have the media flood the country with the types of childish, gossipy trash that has predominated thus far: lapel pins and Pledge of Allegiance symbolism and endless fixations on pastor sermons.
That is what makes all the dark plagues which our political and media class have enabled — those images of dead Iraqi children and foreclosure signs and crushing collective debt and collapsed American credibility and a truly lawless government — blissfully disappear."

3 is about what he's worth today. I'd guess something terrible would have to happen National Security-wise for that number to improve. (Unless former Hillary supporters are as brain-dead as many are promising to be, which I doubt).

Goldwater.
