A new Newsweek nationwide-poll shows that Barack Obama has opened up an outrageous 15 point lead over John McCain.
This is in sharp contrast to the 46-46 tie that was reported after a similar Newsweek poll done in May.
It seems the times really are a changin'. With Barack all set to begin campaigning actively with Hildabeast, the GOP could truly be in trouble. McCain is boring, old and just about every other physical embodiment of the Republican Party.
It's still very early, but we could be looking at a Reagan-Walter Mondale style landslide come November.
If Republicans can hang their hats on anything, it's that John Kerry had a six point lead at the same time in 2004. Even more drastic than that, in May of 1988 Michael Dukakis enjoyed a staggering 54-38 lead over George H.W. Bush, and we all know how that turned out.
I think the trend runs much deeper than this poll or even this election. The country is sick of Republicans, for better or worse. Although I'd love to have a beer with Dubya (and maybe even include him in my posse') he's an idiot. In a job where you need to speak well, Bush fails miserably; he sounds like an inbred and he reflects an ignorant American picture.
As it stands now, 55 percent of Americans call themselves Democrats; 36 percent say they're Republicans.
Come November I think we have our first non-white president and a Democrat in the White House. If we don't, the Democratic party needs to take a serious look at what they're doing -- back to back losses to a moron with some of the lowest approval ratings in American history, followed by another loss to a stereotypically old, stodgy, Republican man. Unacceptable if you're a Democrat.
If nothing else, the following months are going to be quite interesting. And as an American, you've got to be interested, involved and in-tune to everything that's going on around you.
