The ghost of solid leads past

People are really eating up Obamas solid lead in the polls, no doubt this is exciting stuff for supporters who have worked their asses off during this campaign.

George W. Bush, after nearly two weeks of neck-and-neck competition. Today’s figures — 51 percent for Gore to 40 percent for Bush — represents a significant margin for the vice president.
