Just as in the earlier elections with George Bush, I'm astonished at
how close the race is, not just who is winning.
When Bush won, it was really hard to believe: he's clearly incapable.
The Dems on the other hand, chose a poor candidate in the 04 race, so
that could be part of it. And he did steal the race, but he could
only do so because the separation was so small.
But given the obvious failure of the Bush administration, why in hell
is this race so close? Obama will likely win, but I simply cannot
understand why 45% or so really think McCain is better!
Its easy to shrug, and say most people are idiots. Maybe. But up
close and personal, you find this isn't true. So what is the "ghost
in the works"?
