Barack Obama has much going for him right now. While his counterpart is campaigning hard in Democrat states, Obama is sailing on the economic crisis. His popularity is gloating as the economy is plunging into a deeper crisis each day. In Germany, during the recession of 1929, when the economy used to go a notch down, the Nazi party's popularity used to go a notch higher. Obviously, in this case, Obama's popularity going up is not a negative. Most Americans would choose Economy over National Security at the moment, unless the Republican camp exposes a video of Osama Bin Laden threatening another attack, something which happened in the last election, giving Bush the cutting edge over John Kerry. Not to mention Coling Powell's endorsement of Obama, something which has really been an eye opener for everyone, and a big let down for the Republican party.
However, we must keep our fingers crossed.
May it be better than the last...

I agree with your point as Obama's clear advantage right now is his ability to tackle the economic crisis by providing some hope. McCain has dodged the issue and instead focussing on foreign policy. Collin Powell is a key figure to endorse Obama. Should we expect to see a video like what you mention to be released right before the election on behalf of the Republican campaign?
