In the predictions markets Obama is at his highest levels thus far. At Intrade he’s sitting just below 75, I imagine it won’t go much higher than that until maybe a day or so just before the election.

The last debate scheduled is next Wednesday Oct 15th, domestic policy is the focus of that debate. After that it’s 20 days until the election. So what’s the McCain strategy? Today in Pennsylvania both McCain and Palin, side by side, gave speeches but made no mention of past connections to controversial figurers (Wright/Ayers) that they want to link to Obama as Palin has been doing since last weekend. And 2 new McCain Ad’s don’t touch the subject either. So the strategy…

Here is McCain camp strategy, expect the frequency and loudness of the subject to go up in few days if nothing else works for him:

McCain rally speaker refers to Obama’s middle name

BETHLEHEM, Pa. - For the second time in three days, a rally for the Republican presidential ticket invoked Democrat Barack Obama’s middle name, Hussein, in an attempt to add to doubts about his background, faith and campaign.
