Durbin: McCain’s a baller, too

Barack Obama may be able to drain a three pointer when the cameras are rolling, but John McCain has at least some metaphorical game. So said Obama’s own Illinois colleague and campaign co-chair, Sen. Dick Durbin, at a Christian Science Monitor breakfast with reporters on Monday morning.

Responding to a question about recent poll numbers that have the race a dead heat, Durbin said, “Over the last week, John McCain has had a 12-0 run in this basketball game.”

But, he cautioned, “momentum can shift” very quickly.
