John McCain said he has Barack Obama and the Democrats right where he wants them, in a speech delivered this morning.

"The national media has written us off," McCain said, hitting Obama and congressional Democrats for plotting post-election strategy. "But they forgot to let you decide. My friends, we've got them just where we want them."

The speech, billed as a "comeback" or "turnaround" address by some this morning, seeks to address McCain's recent slide in national and state polls, where Obama now appears to have an advantage.
