Oh, I forgot...Mondale up 5.
What I remember hearing ad nauseum in '08, alternately, was a months-long fusillade of snide, arrogant assurances on the parts of McCainiacs various and sundry that "You can't believe the MSM polls showing McCain trailing Obama!" and "McCain already has this election in the freakin' BAG, buddy!" and (my personal favorite; ululated just two or three days prior to the election, itself) "FORTY-SEVEN STATE SWEEP, BAYBEEEEEEEEEEEE -- !!!" Well... ummmmmmmmmmm... WRONG, as the saying evidently goes. ;)
I've been eligible to vote (and have faithfully done so) since Ford/Carter, and I've yet to see ANY campaign forced to repeat -- on a daily basis; for weeks, or even months -- "donnnnnnnnnnnnn't belieeeeeeeeeeeeeve the pollllllllssssssss... donnnnnnnnnnnnn't belieeeeeeeeeeeeeve the pollllllllssssssss..." end up in the winning column, come November.
Should Romney somehow startle, by being the very first, fine and dandy... but: he actually has to do it first, before I actually go ahead and award him credit for doing so. I'm just naturally funny, that way. ;)
