One of those two times was 1976, when the donks managed a whopping 50.08%.

LOL. The stupid right-wingers beat the super-genius left-wingers once again.
If true, it ought to start showing in some of the state polls. NM moved today. Maybe some of the others soon. We are about 10 EVs away now.
“Their 50-state strategy is insanity,” said Schoen. “If they don’t use their financial advantage where they need it most,” he added, citing states from Ohio to Nevada, “and put every thing there and blow it out, they are at deep risk of losing.”
This guy is naive. He really believed Obama and the Chitown Crew meant it when they said they would play a 50 state strategy. This was a bald-faced ruse to allay the Dem establishment to turn over party coffers and controls and move them to Chicago.
In one month's time there will be emerging stories of Democrat office seekers complaining they are not getting fair shares of party funds for their own campaigns.
Not yet, I read that and the first thing that struck me was the “experts” lack of understanding of how important it is to be “real” and trustworthy, change change change is nice, but unless “us” in the hinterlands trust the guy, we won’t vote for him.
Add in Obama utterly failing the Commander in Chief roll, to me, he should fail in November simply due to that reason.
We have three wars going on, I’d rather not see a fuzzy cheeked neophyte anti war advocate running the effort and directing our Friends Sons and Daughters.
The last couple of days I’ve been getting the feeling that something is up. Biden is now talking about how Hillary is more qualified than he is to be the VP. Obama said something yesterday that was very strange, something that sounded like dropping out. They are all so nervous now, that they can not win this year.
“Joe Trippi, a consultant behind Howard Dean’s flash-in-the-pan presidential campaign in 2004 and John Edwards’s race in 2008, said the Obama campaign was slow to recognize how the selection of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as McCain’s running mate would change the dynamic of the race.”
There’s a guy who obviously gives stellar advice. Like Obama, a proven track record of success. Mr. Hindsight.

“They are all so nervous now”
They’re running against a very good looking woman.
The woman issue hurts also because of his rejection of Hillary.
Plus Democratic national campaigns have become psychodramas to compliment their self-perceived intellectuality and caring, echoed via the MSM. They know that is weak, one reason why they are so thin-skinned.
Issues...whatever. Obama and McCain aren’t that far apart.
Trippi is an idiot. They realized that immediately, not slowly.
Didn’t see SD then today? 55 McCain 41 BozObama.
By Democrat standards, this guy could be the nominee for President in 2012.
Now those extensive ground operations in states where McCain leads by double digits are just money suckers into black holes.
America is not yet a liberal country.
The only other pick that would be worse than DiFi would be Boxer or Pelosi.
Just my two cents worth and I didn't mean to hijack the thread but thought it goes with the meltdown and all.

In that map, blue = Republican, right? Meaning that the colors are correct for once.
>> A Democratic meltdown?
Framing (i.e. definition) is *everything*.
The key period was the conventions.
The Dimocraps framed poorly; the Republicans not only pulled off a stunning update of the parameters and message only three days before the convention, they framed themselves and their opposition very well during the convention. Dare I say “professionally”? And credibly.
There isn’t enough time before the election for the Dims to correct their failure and re-frame things; nor is there a key event to use as a pivot point.
It’ll be a close election but IMO the Donkos are already toast.
Boxer and Pelosi make DiFi look both intelligent and centerist by comparison.
