Enough already with the Dukakis BS... That was a long time ago... 20 years... You folks are delusional to bring that up... We had an incredibly popular President in Reagan on the stump for Bush... It was a totally different political climate... It’s naive, and dumb to even bring that up. Why don’t you bring up Dole/Clinton, where Clinton was in the lead, and never gave it up?
Obama is ahead. He isn't ahead by much, but he is ahead.
That means something needs to happen to shake up the race. I am doubtful McCain will go on the attack (although he desperately needs to). I am hopeful the GOP-leaning 527s will be able to get the job done for him.
Most Americans do not agree with Obama's policies, but they need to be informed on what those policies are. Time for our side to get to work.
Because Obama isn't an incumbent?
I feel so naive and dumb now. You’ve spoiled my whole day.
Uhh...Bush vs. Kerry was just 4 years ago. Kerry had a TWENTY POINT LEAD on Bush after he clinched the democratic nomination. Carter also had a big lead on Reagan in 1980. History shows it's quite normal for the demo candidate to enjoy all the media adoration and rack up a big lead early. Then the GOP get their face time with conventions and debates when they and their opponent aren't filtered by the media. The usual response is enough people coming to their senses and voting GOP.
