Signs that Things Will be Different This Time
To my earlier point — namely, that Obama would win even if McCain played the card he does not want to play — you gotta read this slice of life, courtesy of one of Ben Smith’s Republican sources. Wow.

The Bush administration's failures have fractured the coalition– losing the Reagan Democrats– who mostly saw the GOP as caring about the man on the street. Now they realize that Bush was never a guy like them, and didn't look out for them at all. That's not to say McCain wouldn't– because even on his worst day he's got more integrity than W, but all the same, he'll take the fall.
I've heard speculation that, no, this won't be 1980, but it may be like 1984 (these people saying these things never refer to 1994, surprisingly), not the number of states that Obama will carry but with respect to vote shares.
