DREDLOCKED! The Biden Combover Bounce Knots Race
There’s been little question that John McCain has been winning the diminishing mane coverup contest with Barack Obama. McCain’s attempts to arrange purposely overgrown strands from distant segments of the scalp over the badly balding crown may seem a sign of a lack of self-esteem. But that would only be the judgement of the yet-to -recede.

While some youngsters who have yet to see their curl-less destiny think of the effort as a covering the obvious with the more obvious, in reality, it is seen by the majority of men sharing the problem and the baby-boomer women who have learned to accept it, as a sign of maturity. And maturity that includes knowing how to please the electorate, though perhaps not for as long as they used to.

Clearly, Obama’s full head of hair, though closely cropped, sends off crippling messages of inexperience.

1. Not exactly
All the dairy trackers are just that, little snapshots.

The reversal is pretty dramatic. In March, those surveyed chose McCain as the stronger leader by a 53-40 margin. In June, McCain had a 47-44 lead. But in the August poll, Obama beats McCain by five points, 49-44. That is an 18-point switch in four months.

According to the Post/ABC poll, 64 percent of those surveyed think Obama is addressing the issues, and 29 percent believe he is intent on attacking McCain. The voters had a quite different picture of McCain, however, with 48 percent saying the Republican was primarily interested in attacking Obama and just 45 percent saying that McCain was addressing their concerns.

WaPo/ABC





Obama comes back from Europe.

McCain attacks. Polling goes in his favor.

Obama goes on vacation.

2. I am pretty sure the headline is just a joke.
Although they are even in number of combovers, at least until McCain picks a VP and he picks someone equally follicly challenged.
