If Obama is winning by eight points then that means he’s doing better than every Democrat who ran for the presidency since FDR, with the exception of LBJ in 1964. Does that seem logical to anyone here?
Granted, our nation’s been dumbed down and flooded with multicultists, but could things have declined that much that fast?

Yes, they may just have.
My take is that the country is trending “bluer”, and that from now on, conservatives (in general) and Republicans (in particular) are going to face a tougher row to hoe to win elections in certain areas of states, and in entire states, that were heretofore seen as “red”.
Let’s consider one state in particular: New Mexico.
New Mexico was for years “reliably red” and somewhat conservative. It was those things, UNTIL the state’s ethnic demographics began to change. If I’m not mistaken, New Mexico recently became the second state (I believe California was the first) in which Euro-Americans no longer constitute a majority. The state has literally “browned out”. And with the change in ethnic color, along comes changes in political colors, as well.
It’s probably not popular to suggest this, but “conservatism” per se - particularly the “American brand” of conservatism - is “a Euro thing”. I’ve read where the roots of conservatism, that being self-reliance and a healthy mistrust of government, go back to the Scots/Irish (and British) stock of early America and Colonial times.
Historically, not all whites have been conservative.
But the vast majority of conservatives have been white.
When Euros no longer comprise a majority, or even when they hold a “shrinking majority”, conservatism (as a belief held by a given percentage of the population) will begin to fade. The “browner” an area grows, the more liberal it will become.
Here on FR I have seen (and archived) a great posting someone made regarding the percentages of Muslims in a population vis-a-vis how “Muslim” a society will become. I contend that as Euros decline as a percentage of the population, we will see a similar shift away from conservatism and shrinking chances of conservatives having much say in elections or in government.
Yes, conservatives will still be here and have a voice. But, that voice will not be speaking as loudly as before (as an aside, we know how the Left would silence it completely if it could, and we may see a concerted effort in that direction in 2009).
Back to New Mexico. Of course, the conservatives are still there. It’s just that - demographically - they are being overtaken by liberals (not only “California liberals” but moreso by Hispanic growth), and no longer speak with the voice that they once had. That “voice” is still there - but it is being drowned out by the louder din of liberalism. The state is shifting from red to purple, and - in time - will go “full blue”.
Wasn’t there someone who said that it could take centuries to build a culture, but only a generation or two to destroy it?
In our case, the seeds of destruction were sown in the 1965 law that redefined immigration into this country. Before 1965, it was the specific and official policy of the United States to give preference to Euros and to exclude most others. Were such policies “discriminatory”? YES, of course they were, and for good reason: to protect the cultural and philosophical foundations of the Euro-American nation.
But in 1965, those laws and policies were turned topsy-turvy, and the flood of non-Euro immigration began. Couple that with the lax attitudes towards illegals (and the blame for this falls entirely on REPUBLICANS, who could have stopped it, but didn’t), and the complexion of America began to change. For some time, the changes seemed slow, barely perceptible. But the seeds were sown and forty years later we’re reaping the harvest, a harvest that is not only ethnic, but political, as well.

He's not, but he could be 5 points ahead at this time. Then again, didn't LBJ run against a Senator from Arizona, too?
