Good article—I continue to call it 54-46.

This is not a close race—what we have here is a 1980 style polling debacle that could be seen (by cynics like me) as an attempt to create a horse race where none exists.

I too predict a landslide for Republicans with a squeaker win for control of the Senate. Let the prosecutions begin under a Guilliani AG!

Let’s face it - the LSM wants to create interest so that people will tune in to watch their lousy network coverage and bias. Not that it will do them any good, of course, because most of us will only watch a reputable station. I also think all these polls and pollsters are doing the same thing - its called hype. They have to justify their jobs and people are anxious about this election.

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. Who would care if we all knew the outcome beforehand? It would be a snooze fest.

Good point. Some years ago I read a great article about the 1980 election from an insider in the Carter campaign. Carter was told by his advisors as early as the summer of 1980 that he was going to lose the election badly, but he basically had to go through the motions and mount a competitive campaign because they were afraid that a total capitulation would bring devastating losses in Congress and in other races at the state and local level.

I don't think this is quite the same kind of landslide in the making, but I've always sensed that Obama has been in so far over his head for years -- and he knows it.

Here's to hoping we're all calling you a genius come Wednesday if not sooner.
