Can John McCain pull it off?

Short of Herr Bush creating another way, McCain cannot win the Oval Office. His minions will try as they might. They cannot play the race card but sotto voce it won't be far from our hearing; they are falling back on the canard that Obama is a celebrity as if McCain wasn't or isn't as he talks endlessly of his long stay at the Hanoi Hilton!, or that Obama is still wet behind the ears for assuming the role of America's commander & chief. That's a laugh. Neither is the dithering McCain for that matter. When Lincoln was running, the same petard was hoisted, that he wasn't ready, and he after all made the Republican party a major American party during the Civil War!
The Republican big wigs may not be impressed with Obama, but the American electorate is and enough to make him the US' 44 president. And that's what counts.
