He can win in theory, but in practice there's some major hurdles ahead. The best thing that could happen right now is if the government busted up a major terror cell in the US. That would remind everyone what's at stake here and shift the debate to one that heavily favors McCain. As long as the issues are economy and fuel prices, McCain is at a disadvantage.
Should McCain lose in November, though, I see Obama as a one hit wonder. He'll flop on energy policy since gas prices will continue to go up, and he will be seen as doing nothing on that matter. Democrats will never open up more land to drilling, and alternatives are still way too far off to make a difference. The economy is going to slide into recession no matter who is president, but Obama could really screw things up by flustering free trade. That would inflict a major wound on the economy. Obama says he has a time table for withdrawl from Iraq, but as soon as he gets into office he'll learn what the situation on the ground really is there and backpeddle on that. The anti-war lobbey will crucify him over that. The final nail in the coffin will be if either Iran goes nuclear, or Israel moves against Iran to prevent them from going nuclear and he condemns it. If it's the former, Obama is finished and the Dems will return to the minority in government. If it is the more likely latter option, public sympathy will be decidedly on the side of the Israelis and Obama will be permanantly cast as the president of the Arab World. Either way, he's out after the first term. It's just an issue of how much damage he does before he leaves.
