Uptown girl,

You know I can't afford to buy her pearls.

But maybe someday when my ship comes in,

She'll understand what kind of guy I've been.

A new batch of polls released Thursday morning brought more grim news for McCain. The Republican was trailing Obama in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana and Florida. "Almost universally bad news for John McCain," wrote The Post's Dan Balz.

Sometimes I feel as though I'm running on ice, paying the price too long.

Kind of get the feeling that I'm running on ice. W here did my life go wrong ?

McCain's only good news, if it could be called that, was a suspect Associated Press poll showing Obama's lead at only one percentage point among likely voters.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, keeping the faith.

On the campaign trail, the two sides traded the usual barbs. McCain said Obama couldn't be trusted. "He'll say anything to get elected."

Honesty is such a lonely word.

Everyone is so untrue.
