Maybe he's been off playing craps with his lobbyist friends:

And what better, more difficult-to-detect way for a lobbyist to buy his influence than paying for his chips at a Casino?
He's pathologically lazy, and if elected will make the Demented Dauphin look like a work-a-holic.
Graduating #5 from the bottom of the class at Annapolis took a fair amount of dedication to NOT working at ANYTHING.
I hate to say this, but I'll say it anyway: If a plurality of voters go for McCain, America will deserve everything that happens to it. After eight years of Bush, the last thing we need is another lazy muddled good-for-nothing waste of natural resources inhabiting the White House.
How dare you impugn Senator McCain's service like that! I'm sure he would rather been in Washington, DC "voting" than being tortured by the Viet Cong!
Marek, I'll say it to the asshole's face. Shit, I'll even take my glasses off and close my eyes and let him take the first swing if what I say offends him (with the understanding that he's mine after that first swing).

IF? IF? Wanderer, to me it's still a strong possibility.
Most of the country will (in typical, procrastinating fashion) make up their minds in the 2 weeks prior to election day. That's despite the conventions, the cheerleading, the debates, and the negative/positive advertising campaigns.
John and Jane Chuckleberry ain't gonna be thinkin' no-how, no-way about anything but working and bills, getting them and their loved ones fed, what's on the tee-vee, getting their spawn ready for a new school year, and possibly some local bullshit until around October 21st or so, and even then it's going to compete with Halloween!
Now, I'd like to hope that these folks are turning the issues over in their minds, weighing trade-offs, formulating cost/benefit ratios over the competing interests of experience vs. statesmanship, or looking at leadership styles. But, I have no hope that type of analysis is happening even among many politically active people, so it is surely not happening in the mass of the population.
So, no, I'm not sanguine that the American consumer-voter will make the correct (and even with Obama that's a stretch) choice until they are hit with a hardship much like the Great Depression that calls for a 180-degree change in the way we do things. Unfortunately, what got us out of that was another World War, and I don't think we've got it in us or want to participate in another one of those.
Sweaterman, the largest word in the English language is "if;" that's a cliche, but it's an operative cliche. I think only the witches in Macbeth could "look into the seeds of time and tell which will grow and which will not," but I've taken Obama at 8 to 5.
