It looks like people are starting to doubt that Barack Obama can perform the duties as President of the United States (I’ve doubted him for a long time).

This Associated Press poll shows the race even. This one shows it’s tightening, too.

As people are starting to vote, or as they say, “when the rubber meets the road” they understand that this election is about their security, safety and lower taxes. John McCain is much stronger on these issues.

People are thinking hard about Obama. More people just can’t pull the lever, push the button, or color in the circle for Obama. Obama’s remarks about “spreading the wealth” hurt him. We are a charitable nation, but we don’t want an Obama-run government to take our hard-earned dollars and give them to other people to spread wealth. Most people can relate to Joe the Plumber. Plus, more and more information is coming out about his relationships with people who basically hate America.

The election is just 13 days away. Many things can change between now and then, but if I were working for McCain, polls like the ones above would give me the boost to work even harder. Meantime, Obama’s folks are planning a big party on election night.
