I don't think for a minute it will be a landslide - unless in today's divided electorate, you call, say, 55%-45% a landslide. Gone are the Reagan days where a candidate can truly reach across party lines. Rove made sure that his wedges were driven deeply.

I don't think it will be a landslide for Obama, and the "Bradley effect" is particularly worrying in the places like Ohio. However, the Obama organization machine has managed to register massive numbers of new voters. According to state records, about 250,000 new voters have registered in Virginia already this year. And, in the month of August, 40 percent of those were 25 and under. The state doesn't register by party, but Wilson is confident that the tide is running his way. pbs.org There are about 4.5 million registered voters in VA, and approx 3 million people voted in the 2004 presidential election in VA. 1.7 million voted for Bush in 04, and 1.45 million voted for Kerry, even though Kerry was swiftvoted into oblivion by the military crowd. www2.sbe.virginia.gov This is too close for 250K new registered voters not to matter. And you know most of those people registered to vote for Obama.
