ONE MORE REASON THE UNICORN RIDER CAN'T PICK JOE BIDEN:

McCain winning in new poll, follows trend (DAVID PAUL KUHN, 8/20/08, Politico)

John McCain has overtaken Barack Obama in the presidential race, according to a Reuters/Zogby poll released Wednesday morning.

McCain leads Obama 46 to 41 percent among likely voters, which the poll found is outside the margin of error. Reuters/Zogby had Obama ahead by 7-points as recently as mid July.

Senator Obama needs a big convention bounce just to make this race competitive and he can't afford to spend it defending his vp pick.
