Ebbie - I recall what happened in 2004, when it seemed like a credible Democratic candidate could have sleep walked into the oval office. And I hear people talking all the time about Obama in ways that the news media doesn't seem to.
                      At the end of the day, it's just a "gut feeling," I have no evidence to support it. But in 2004, I was amazed that we ended up with 4 more years of George Bush.
