Default Schmidt: McCain 'within striking distance'

Quote:
John McCain’s chief strategist Steve Schmidt said Monday that the campaign is “well within striking distance” of Barack Obama.

“I believe in this race we are approximately six points behind. There’s a lot of the media right now that is writing Senator McCain off for the third or fourth time this year. That means we have ‘em just where we want ‘em in this race.”
“We have an ability to close that distance in the final weeks of the campaign and we’ll be working hard to do that,” Schmidt added. “We feel good about the possibilities of winning the race.”

I believe anything could happen. 6 points is not insurmountable. There's the Bradley effect, and are all the people who registered gonna vote factor.
Still a horse race.

Not insurmountable, but definitely behind the 8-ball...

It still may come down to a screw-up...
