With all due respect to the doomsdaysayers. . .if you are an incumbent and at this stage you are below 50%, then you are in real, solid trouble. Mandel is not going to get weaker in this race and as he becomes better known will only get stronger. I am not saying it is a sure win for the Republicans. But I am saying that it is not even close to the “give up hope” column.

With all due respect to the optimists on this board: I don't think you see the complete picture. We may win this race, but we are loosing the war. With 44% liking comrades Brown and Obama, and the number keeps growing - parasites procreate much faster then their hosts. I am afraid, the trend is irreversible.
