Where is the double-digit lead in the year the DEMS can not lose?

I am very surprised.

 

[Romanowski]

its obvious the country is polarized more than ever

anyone who thinks blowout is mental

 

[gtc08]

several outlets have posted obama with a double digit lead. we look at what we want to see.

 

[Willie99]

RCP is the average of all the most recent polls.

 

[Willie99]

I expect BO to have a very large lead right after the Democratic Convention.

McCain will knock a few points off after the RNC.

Then the horse race begins.

 

[BillCarson]

If McCain can get Hillary to switch parties, Obama's a dead duck.

But as Election day comes closer, The Israel lobby will crush " Obama or Die "

P Diddy cannoy help.

The perfect Vice President for Obama would be that rat Mayor of San Francisco.
