Last year, everyone thought there'd be a "civil war" within the GOP this election cycle: While many are unhappy with John McCain as the Republican nominee, it looks like "conventional wisdom" got the party wrong.

[Michael Dukakis enjoyed a 12-14% advantage over George W. Bush.]

Um....I really don’t think so. Dubya ran against Algore (2000) and John F-in Skerry (2004).

It must be tough for Republicrats to choose between their candidates.

Criminy, give it up!

If it's a choice between obambi and anyone, I'll vote for anyone. No matter what the choices are, obambi is the worst for the country. As much as I dislike the options, I will not destroy the country to make my ego feel good.

A big government socialist is probably the only thing that can’t be said about Juan. He has consistently voted to cut spending and eliminate pork.

Now...immigration, ANWR, embryonic stem cells, global warming, etc.... that is where we have a problem with Juan.

If McCain came out for increased energy development in this country, including drilling, he could sew this election up.

I think you are right...but he is too stupid for that. I’ll vote for him anyways because ALL the alternatives are worse.

I think he meant his father, George H. Bush.

Ummmm..he is talking about president Bush's dad, who run against Dukakis in 1988. It says 1988 right at the top of those figures. Dukakis was ahead by 17% at one time in the summer, and still got clobbered in November.

The key appears to be the large number of undecided voters or those who do not wish to vote for either candidate.

Send a message, third party ...

His father was not George W. Bush.

He kind of was. I think it was George H. W. Bush to be exact. But most people do know Bush 41 as George H. Bush.

After all the hype, we will probably have low voter turnout.

Both candidates stink, and people are getting tired of them already.

I don’t like McCain. I’m writing in my cats. One less vote for Obama, right?

There's a lot of people who will lie to pollsters, especially this time around. I'm talking about Democrats who will never vote for a black man, but never admit it.

The privacy of the voting booth is a terrible thing. :)

It sounds so arrogant to say so ... but
i agree.
Obama is toast.

If he cannot run ahead before the country has begun paying him any sort of
serious scruntiny
... and before the opponents have even begun campaigning ...
how can anyone think that he’ll be ahead in November?
Is he going to GAIN FURTHER SUPPORT from here on?
