What slide? The bounce McCain had post-Palin and post-RNC is pretty much gone. Obama has closed the gap the last couple of days in Gallup and Rasmussen. And McCain has yet to get a comfortable grip on the Electoral College, being one state away (CO, NV, VA) from losing the election.

Relax, No democrat has won the white house in a 2 way race by more than 51% of the vote, with the exception of LBJ who got the boost that took an assassination to create, in over 50 years.

The last one to win by a majority at all was Carter, and he only held on to barely win because of a huge gaffe in the debates by Ford... had Ford not done that Ford would have won.

No democrat has SURGED late in the election cycle in a 2 way race, that I can recall in my lifetime. Time will tell, but I don’t see Fauxbama holding on for another 7 weeks... he’s lost every ounce of lead and momentum, and with his cult of personality popped, he’s not likely to be getting it back anytime soon.

Debate #1 is coming, and we’ll see what comes from that.
