This picture, from Reuters, best represents the McCain campaign with 19 days to go. Senator Obama will broaden his attacks in North Carolina, Indiana, and Missouri; Politico reports he will also go after West Virginia, Georgia, Kentucky, and North Dakota.
Of course, this means that states such as Pennsylvania, Florida, and Michigan are no longer contestable for McCain and states such as Ohio, Virginia, Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada, and Iowa are moving away from being toss ups.
These states are not only important for the electoral college but for the down-ticket races as well. I am not sure if the democrats can handle winning sixty seats in the Senate.
Update: a Photographer from Reuters took this photo of McCain. The description of the context: "US Republican presidential nominee Senator John McCain (R-AZ) reacts to almost heading the wrong way off the stage after shaking hands with Democratic presidential nominee Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) at the conclusion of the final presidential debate at Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York, October 15, 2008.

Is this a real picture or is it photoshopped?
I can't stop laughing. This photo is great! Great!!!
Still laughing.
Really funny shit this is.
(Hey, I kinda sound like Yoda.)
Oxymoron-
Is it McCain's tongue? Is it because it looks like he is trying to goose Obama? Or the general old man creepiness? Or is it because he is running for president and a presidential candidate placed himself in a situation where a photographer could take this photograph?
Both of those points, Solon. But mostly because he looks like a creepy little troll, sneaking up on Obama so that he can eat his liver or something. Which is especially funny given McCain's negative campaigning and hate mongering. This is a cartoon manifestation of the last two weeks.
