Good news, everyone!

After and a bruising opening round, McCain’s primary campaign has been paying dividends.  Instead of that pesky 53% – 31% edge he once had over J.D. Hayworth, he’s changed the numbers to 48% – 41% in his favor.  That’s right.  After all that work, financial expenditure, viciousness, and the diligent efforts of friendly blog trolls, McCain has managed to reduce his lead from 22% to 7%.

After his sterling campaign against Obama, I would expect no less.  The man is an electoral miracle to have done so much on his own behalf and lost two-thirds of his ground.  Keep up the good work, John McCain.  I knew you had it in you.
