Stephen Dinan at The Washington Times suggests that McCain's two-month honeymoon period may be over after Zogby's latest poll puts McCain 10-points behind Obama (37% - 47%), with Nader and Barr polling at 4% and 3% respectively.
I was also really surprised by another post on Dinan's blog, where he wrote that The Green Papers calculated that McCain received only 46% of the 20.2 million votes cast by Republicans this year, compared with Bush's 63% in 2000, and Bob Dole's 59% in 1996.
It seems like he's starting to lose momentum. I'd be thinking about naming that VP fast. I still think Romney would be the best bet. Right away, I'd get him campaigning in Michigan and Florida, which would probably make Hillary push even harder to fight it out all the way to the convention, and thus split the party even further.
