Thank you Al

and Laura, first comment--also my sense, that McCain still has to straddle trying to bring in his reluctant Republican supporters by espousing policies likely to drive off the independents. And as Al notes, there's never been a ground game like this, and polling doesn't reflect new registration very well.

Are Dems always like this? I'm watching more closely than usual this year, and from the amount of handwringing and armchairmaning you'd never guess Obama led in polls and McCain lagged through the summer. There's some "why didn't we go with sure shot Romney?" writers out there, but they're dwarfed by the number of "why isn't he winning by 20 or 30 points?" panicking on the Dem side. It's quite weird to watch.

Get through both conventions and at least one debate, then see where the polls are.
