John McCain sits in as a good a position as possible for being behind. I say this not out of some delusions that a victory will be easy, but these are the key numbers.

McCain has 76% support from Conservatives.... this is a good thing... these voters should jump on board even though they may not agree with McCain on every issue.

secondly and this is where I see the most chance for gain. Obama leads by 28 among moderates. Come one I think those are the voters who were most caught up in Obama's hype.
