It’s neck-and-neck!

REMEMBER President George H.W Bush’s glorious second term? No? How about your fond memories of 41st President Michael S. Dukakis? Don’t recall those either? Good, because it never happened. But a year or two out from Election Day, each man was predicted to win big. Now, in a frenzy of poll stories, we’re being told (over and over and over) Mitt Romney is edging out Barack Obama in the 2012 race, an election two years away (and in politics, that's like two centuries from now). Never mind that Mitt’s lead is 1 percentage-point and within the poll’s margin of error. The same poll shows Obama beating Sarah Palin by 8 points. That’s wrong, too. If it really came down to Obama v. Palin (and it won’t), Obama would likely win by 50 points at least. Run Sarah Run. I dare you!
