During the 2008 presidential campaign, there was a long stretch where nearly every TV news report started like this: "More good news today for John McCain..."
Well, there's more good news today for Willard Romney. The latest NBC/Wall Street Journal poll shows Obama with nice leads in Ohio, Florida, and Virginia. Odds are good that if Obama wins two of those, it's turn out the lights, the party's over for Willard and the Cheese Prince. If he wins all three, it's a romp.
The polls may explain why every Republican seems to be comparing Obama to Jimmy Carter. I spent most of the day online reading reader comments from RWers, and noticed that comparison popping up. Among RWers, the election of 1980 was a holy event; most Republicans over forty consider it the greatest moment in history, and they want desperately to relive it. Their problem is that Willard Romney will never be in Reagan's class in terms of popular appeal.
