Obama should be looking at a landslide - but he's not.

WLS over at PP explains that "Having A Six Point Lead is a Precarious Place To Be."

"If Obama were ahead 20 points and 3 voters in 100 changed their mind between now and election day, Obama would still lead by 14 points and nobody would care. But, since he’s ahead only 6 points — after all that has happened in his favor — if only 3 voters change their mind he’s in a dead heat with a guy who was given up for dead several times already."

And is it panic or prudence which expends exorbitant amounts to purchase prime television time on CBS three weeks out if confidence is presumably high? Or is Geo. Soros' bank book simply too near at hand for it to matter much??

I guess O-Man's own channel wasn't enough.

Hold the phone! Deals with NBC & FOX, too?
