If the Democrats lose this election, they really need to just stop trying.
Based on their past presidential election track records, I'd give it a 50-50 chance.

It's anecdotal, but I'm hearing it a lot. I think Independents are going to come out strong for Obama, and I think the moderate edge of Republicans are going to be heavily swayed. Those who are disgusted with what Bush did to the GOP are going to see Obama as an attractive option. They wouldn't feel that way about Hillary, but they do about Obama.

Gez, are we related? Oh, wait your dad voted for Perot? Never mind.
My Dad for the first time voted Dem in 2004. He did so because he said the neocons were destroying the country he loved. Lately in speaking with him I think he was leaning to McCain. However the other day he said "McCain's changed over the last year. He's starting to sound like Hillary- say anything you think will get you more votes. He should be forced to stop calling this bus the straight talk express."
Will he vote for Obama? I'm highly doubtful, but?
