washingtontimes.com — Barack Obama had his work cut out for him coming into this week's Democratic National Convention.

The Republicans had beaten him up pretty bad throughout the month of August.

Pollster John Zogby remarked the other day that "As the Democrats head into their convention, should they be singing the Eurythmics 1985 hit 'Here Comes That Sinking Feeling'?"
