Obama in trouble?

He is in a serious trouble in my opinion.

First signs were clear when he started losing primaries one after the other to Hillary even after an unprecendented support from media. As we all know, media was brutal and unfair to Hillary.

Second sign was when he chose Joe Biden over Hillary for VP slot. It was a stupid decision - period. What kind of person would ignore Hillary who had secured 18 million votes during primaries? I personally thought it was an arrogant decision by Obama people to ignore and sideline Hillary.

Third clear sign was Sarah Palin. Personally, I find her average. But, Republican base LOVES her. They all desperately needed a reason to engage in this election and found it in her. She has everything that a typical republican party loyalist wants to see - many kids, deeply religious, guns, hunting, anti-abortion rhetoric, tax cuts, obsession with drilling for oil and on and on.

So, Is it over for Obama? I'm not sure. But, for poll numbers are changing in favor of McCain faster than Obama would like to admit. He needs to convince independent voters that he is a better candidate. More importantly, he needs to win Hilary supporters.
