IMO, if enough people are made aware of the fact that 90% of Americans would pay less taxes under Obama's proposed tax plan vs McCain's, this really IS as good as it gets for McCain. When I first saw the DailyKos post that pointed out the 90% fact with the links to the CNN/Tax Policy Institute numbers I was shocked, and knew I had to share and spread this information with anyone and everyone because it's DEVESTATING to McCain's presidential bid. I feel compelled to preface Cenk's article with a link to that information here:

As Good As It Gets for McCain
By Cenk Uygur
About a month ago, I said on the show that this as good as it gets for John McCain. That was in the middle of the Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton melee. At that point Obama and McCain were essentially tied in the polls, and some polls even had McCain up by a few points. There's a good chance you will never see that again.
I believed that then and I believe it even more strongly now. The main problem wasn't all the damage that Hillary Clinton was inflicting on Obama (though she did do some), it was that the press wasn't paying any attention to McCain. Once you turn the spotlight on McCain, it isn't pretty...
