IMO 2008 will be compared to 1972, Nixon vs McGovern:
Nixon, proclaiming that peace was at hand in Vietnam because of his policies, ridiculed McGovern as the radical candidate of “acid, amnesty, and abortion.” The election took place on November 7, 1972. Nixon won the election in a landslide, with a 23.2 percentage points margin of victory in the popular vote, the 4th largest such margin in Presidential election history.

Our country is more liberal now than in 1972. And, conservatives are less than enthusiastic with McCain. Obama is a very charismatic leader and much more intelligent than McGovern or McCain. Add in the increase in minorities, a core base for the democrats, and you may have 1972-—in reverse.
