A new poll is out from Zogby that shows McCain with a five point margin over Obama in he polls, which is beyond the margin of error.
This is not good for Obama. On the other hand, McCain has to make a solid VP selection, or else he could destroy his chances to keep the lead. For instance, if he chooses a pro-abortion candidate, or even an independent, he will lose the presidency.
