Obama will never get anywhere close to Reagan if it were a landslide.

The Democrats see him as their Ronald Reagan. Let's hope its really close for that favors our side more than theirs.

I go back and forth in feelings of, McCain still has a very good chance, to this thing is over.

I for one, am praying that the "Bradley" effect is real!

I get even more nervous when people even talk about the Reagan landslide. I live in Wisconsin, and in one of the most Republic counties in the State. We have voted Republican every single election, except one, since the 1800's. I do not expect that to change this time, but things around here are not real good economically. For the first time since the Carter administration, my husbands plant actually laid off people. I am hearing normally middle of the road people actually say things about "I will never make $250,000 dollars a year." On the other hand, Joe the Plumber really struck a chord. People are making jokes about "spreading the wealth", they do see the connect. They do not want their tax dollars going to people that don't even pay taxes. So we shall see. All I know is that when the country went to pot in the 1970's people voted in Reagan. What will happen now when we have had a Republican in charge (I know that the Dems have had both houses for the past two years, but do others make the connect?)

Still optimistic, but also realistic.
