Love the Photo Analogies!

That evolution of trains is great! Yes - I too am cautiously optimistic - I guess this is fitting since our guy is seen by the MSM as cautious, as a general trait. Early voting has begun in many places, so Barack will get benefits from that. Maybe that slice of voters who decide on any old thing at the last minute is small this year. Unfortunately - it's no longer just that the economy is good for the non-incumbent or for the Democrat - the world economy is in MAJOR breakdown. It's really beyond any one person, any one political party, any one country to fix. It's going so bad that it's out of conventional wisdom territory - if it looks as though we are in or soon to be in a DEPRESSION, let alone a recession - I'm not sure how the electorate will feel. Maybe there will be some swing back to a comfort zone (McSame?). I certainly hope not. But the economic situation may get to a point where it is just beyond presidential politics. . .
