  Last night, I was chatting with a gym rat buddy of mine, who happens to be a Democrat and Gay. Mind you, this guy is about 45 and being a business owner, tends to be conservative when it comes to fiscal matters. I'm sure he'll vote Democrat for social reasons, but the fact that the Democrats aren't destroying the Republicans perplexes him. Especially after the last eight years. It was funny to hear him mention the comparison to the 1976 Presidential Campaign with Carter beating Ford. I almost dropped my barbell when he mentioned it. If the Democrats lose to the Republicans after the last eight, it will be the biggest letdown for a party in voting history. Truly, I wonder if the Bradley Effect will rear its head?

  • You could be very right. It will force them into it. Look at the percentages of wins.
