This will be the greatest landslide in American history.
Washington is very nervous right now.


I've thought the same..I've long perceived Obama as an "everyman"...he's got something to offer to all of us, when as you said, we come to our senses...

Tom Brokaw said last night that in his travels this past year, change is the consistent theme he hears among voters of all persuasions...

That's a pretty high hurdle.
Nixon/McGovern '72 ?

(edit) Not that it wouldn't be nice.

• Fox News founder Murdoch predicts landslide win for Obama
---
Kara Swisher and Walt Mossberg had a long day of grilling executives at their All Things Digital Conference. But they saved Rupert Murdoch -- their Wall Street Journal overlord -- for last.



The highlight? Murdoch’s not-quite-but-almost endorsement of Barak Obama for president.

The founder -- and defender -- of Fox News said he expected Obama to win in a landslide, citing widespread unhappiness with the current administration and his disenchantment with Republican contender John McCain. Murdoch added that after a long career in the Senate, McCain had been forced to compromise too much and doesn’t stand for much. Murdoch even nonchalantly owned up to influencing the New York Post to back Obama in the New York primary.
