He realizes that he might have one subjective impression (McCain will win) and I might have another (Obama will win), but more important than either of our views is the fact that Obama is the clear choice among the betting public. <BR/><BR/>We'll be talking a lot in the upcoming months about who will "win" the election. And that is the $64,000 question. But I want to ask a much more pleasant question. <BR/><BR/>Recognizing that there is a substantial possibility that McCain will win (roughly 33%) ... how large is the prospect that Obama won't merely win, but win in a landslide? <BR/><BR/>After the long, hard slog of the previous several months, it's that latter question that I'd prefer thinking about this morning.Daniel Spirohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09656412977046134771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32924329.post-80837753644453279342008-06-07T01:59:00.000-07:002008-06-07T01:59:00.000-07:00Very encouraging!
