Obama was fresh and new and shiny and historic, McCain was old RINO. Polls after debates matter, but polls by state. Enthusiasm gap will not be Obama’s this time.

But...Obama wasn’t the incumbent in 2008. Essentially, he was the challenger running against Bush. With Obama as the incumbent the tables will turn in this election and he won’t get the majority of undecided voters.
