From the fever swamps of the blogosphere to the halls of academia, there is a chorus of voices who have come to the same conclusion about the presidential election: Barack Obama is going to win in November, by something resembling a landslide.
Yet for all the breathless analysis and number-crunching that has convinced observers Obama is en route to an epic victory, there is one key historic fact that is often overlooked-most popular vote landslides were clearly visible by the end of summer. And by that indicator, 2008 doesn’t measure up.
Unless it's not. It could be a near-landslide. Or maybe he'll win with 53%. Or maybe not. Gee, this article is so clear and articulate.
This part is real clear and it confirms what many of us have been saying for months...much of the opposition to Obama is based solely on race, not on the issues.

“This may sound kind of harsh, but if the Democratic nominee were a white male from a red or purple state, the theory would be dead on that this would be set up, there would be a very, very high probability for a Democratic landslide,” said Brad Coker, the managing partner of Mason-Dixon Polling & Research.

John Edwards was a better candidate to win this year. At least until his affair.
I'm thinking he won't be anywhere near the convention this year. He should just retire to his mansion here in NC and shut his mouth. Go back to practicing law.
