He's down 52 to 43 in the latest Washington post poll - after leading 49 to 47 on september 7th.
Now he's ending all advertising (which as you know - negative advertising was working for a while on obama).
No more campaigning, no more advertising. This is great for people who watch msnbc or fox news all day... but for Susie Dumbshit who doesn't follow politics except for commercials, mccain could lose some ground now.
