>We really haven't had a situation like this since 1952 (I think).

>Isn't that the last time we had no incumbent President or Vice President running?

Ha. That was a Jeopardy question a few weeks ago, and I said '52 and got it wrong. The correct answer was '68 (Humphrey didn't get the Dem nomination).

>I guess my surprise at Obama not having a bigger lead comes from the relative UNpopularity of Bush and the Republican Party as shown in "other" polls.

>Most polls over the last 18 months or so have shown a "generic" Democrat beating a "generic" Republican for President by 15 or so points.

Yeah, but Obama's just spent several months longer than McCain did embroiled in a messy primary. I think in a couple of months, things will be different.
