The McCain campaign's aggressive ad strategy may be paying off. Today's Rasmussen Presidential Tracking Poll shows a slight advantage for John McCain. You have to factor in the "leaners" but this is significant because it represents the first time McCain has had any advantage since Barack Obama secured the nomination on June 3rd.

Could there be a chink in the Chosen One's armour? Is he finally being exposed as the Milli-Vanilli of presidential contenders? Given the fact that he recently wrapped up the well-covered European leg of the Obamapalouza tour, this is definitely troubling news. Even with the media love-fest in full swing, Barack Obama is having trouble gaining any ground.

Senator McCain's ads certainly have the Democratic Party in a tizzy. The wheels my not be off the Obama wagon just yet, but it sure is getting bumpy.
