Wow.

Exactly two years ago, SurveyUSA completed interviews with 600 voters in every state (30,000 total interviews), asking them how they would vote in a 2008 Presidential Election between John McCain and Barack Obama. Based on those interviews, SurveyUSA was able to report that:

In November 2006, Obama carried …

1. His home state of Illinois.
2. His birth state of Hawaii.
3. The District of Columbia.

In November 2006, Obama got 28 total electoral votes.

In November 2006, John McCain carried 48 states, and rolled up 510 electoral votes.

What a difference 2 years make.

He probably would have lost this election if not for the bail out crisis.

At the morning coffee meeting (AKA "The Vortex"), I said that I remembered taking BO seriously only after I read an article last year in The Atlantic magazine.

I disagree. He was in the lead before that - it just help solidify his position.
