Tightening polls (again) indicate that despite widespread despondency on the right, this electoral battle isn't over. The major tracking polls show Obama leading McCain by a margin of 4-6 points---- less than the 8 point lead which Jimmy Carter held over Rondald Reagan a mere nine days before the election of 1980-- and Reagan ended up winning in an historic landslide.
(The above is from a blog posting by
Michael Medved .)
Medved goes on to write The key to victory is clear:
If the election ends up as a referendum on George W. Bush, Obama wins (in a landslide).
If the election ends up as a referendum on John McCain, Obama wins decisively.
If, on the other hand, the election is all about Obama -- if it ends up as a referendum on his policies, personality and preparation- then McCain will win.
