I'm getting old, now, and don't remember dates as well as I used to, but I sure remember the image. It was right before he retired. I'm pretty sure it was the 1994 'rat debacle; Hillary-care and the whole national oh-my-god-what-have-we-done reaction to Slick Willey the Rat. 'Rat majorities in the House gone, Senate gone, state legislative houses gone, gubernatorial majority (I think) gone. And all in the blink of an eye.

You have to understand: The mainstream media is fed by photo-finishes. If the spread is greater than 5 points, then they know that people will simply turn off their TVs and go to the movies. And that reduces advertising revenues. Consequently, they're going to do everything in their power to promote the idea that this race is neck-and-neck.
