Sketch out a scenario--plausible or not--in which McCain turns this around and is the next president

Mark Mellman, Democratic strategist:
McCain only has two possible roads to victory--direct Divine intervention or Democratic complacency born of over-confidence. The first seems more likely to benefit Obama, if anyone....nothing that has occurred of late suggests G-d is very happy with the way Bush/McCain have been running the country. More...

Dean Baker, Co-director, Center for Economic Policy Research:
Senator McCain captures Osama Bin Laden, and personally turns him over to President Bush in a ceremony on the White House lawn the day before the election.

Rosabeth Moss Kanter, Professor, Harvard Business School:
McCain could win in a fairy tale: the Dow soars to 14,000; the Grinch dissolves thereby producing record Christmas spending by Halloween; a cold fusion breakthrough is announced that will produce cheap, clean energy; demand for U.S. products surges overseas, manufacturers re-open plants and offer bonuses to workers; and McCain holds the magic wand.

Felicia Harvey (guest), Editor, BlackPoliticsontheWeb.com, FL:
Ronald Reagan rises from the dead to endorse McCain. He promises to give all Americans free gas for his entire term of office. California, New York, Illinois, New Jersey, and Massachusetts all decide to secede. Then McCain has an outside chance.

John Theobald (guest), IT Manager, GA:
Easy ... independents and undecideds actually THINK before they vote. :-(

Fred Clarke (guest), President, Mobile Company, CA:
As a ardent supporter of Obama, I can unfortunately see several scenarios that could result in a win for McCain, none of which requires a miracle. Scenario 1: Powell does not endorse Obama, but instead endorses McCain. While Powell is perceived as a critic of Bush policies and the war, he is still a Republican. His endorsement could be taken as an endorsement of the war and a hit on Obama's approach to rogue nations. More
