Why this Election is Close

Dick Morris who I consider a conservative hack actually made a good point this evening. He made a point that Barack Obama was losing by 4 points among women over 40 though he should be winning this group by 5-10 points. Hmmmmm, women over 40, what possible reason could they be lagging behind?

Its clear now that the reason obama isn't further ahead in the polls than the 4 point lead he appears to have is this group and their hesitancy to back Mr. Obama. I'm sure the Obama campaign is aware of this and it makes his VP pick very important, it truly is his first executive decision. If he can pick a candidate whether it be Hillary or not who can bring this block of voters that are already democrats, then Obama will win the general with ease. If however he cannot bring them, then the election will remain close to the end.

Matt Your comments on 540 continue to be spot on.

I'll give Obama 5 more days- counting this weekend- if we dont see something soon he is going to start an irreversible slide.

I hope he does something.

I'll vote for him regardless.
