Well, it's been a long time during the american campaign hasn't it? It's lasted for a good long Year and 1/4th almost (Not a precise estimate), but generally everyone's been duking it out. Originally it was the fact that the republicans had extremely low ratings, but the other two candidates fought and while John McCain waited they dropped out. McCain still stood still essentially.
Then a bit later, when hillary dropped just a bit the massive following of Obama the new messiah came in, and hillary still wanted to fight. Eventually she dropped out and Obama still remained, albeit with a bit less of his god like fanbase.
So we had some constant campaiging and attack ads until recently McCain seemed to start frothing at the mouth and being angry. And that's where he lost. I really consider the turning point the debate, since we all saw his true side -there-. He just went on and on about the cold war, let's fund the war, nuclear power, off shore drilling and really, do we remember the last president like this? Yes, the one in office, Bush Jr.
There was the brief moment that it was a controversial choice, choosing palin, which was another downfall. She looked good for the campaign, but then we found out she was stupid, quoth the actual interview: "You can see parts of russia from here in alaska". No, not the SNL skit. The actual words from her mouth. How many people like stupid people in presidency? Our president currently is a good example.
So what does it mean now? Well, as we've seen everyone loves obama for no reason. But it seems there's just general doldrums with the attack ads. They aren't doing much. I'm honestly getting a bit sick of it, but unbeknownst to me, as I've already deduced that McCain is going to lose, in the last minutes of life in the campaign, he's launching a infomercial. Something like that, at least what I heard on CNN.
I just believe you'd know your campaign is screwed when you need a 30 minute commercial to vote for you as a president. I just believe.
