I'm predicting at least a 12-15 point lead by Obama after all the debates are done.

If he keeps up this image and performance in the next debates(which involve issues that favor Obama this time), Obama will likely move ahead in the national polls by a very substantial margin. Keeping my fingers crossed. Knock on wood...

1. I think we have a 12-15 point lead right now, but I suspect they're fudging the polls

in order to make like it's closer than it is. A close election gets more viewers watching the corporate media than a blowout.

3. I'm not that optimistic.

It's rare for any candidate to lead by more than 10. We very well could win by ten, but even Reagan in 1980 was only up by a slim margin over Carter the eve of the election.

2. he'll need every bit of that

to beat the Bradley effect and the various vote stealing shenanigans

4. Don't get cocky...

We need to keep fighting like we are 10 points down. This is no time for high fives.

Keep your game face on until after election day. This ain't over - not by a long shot.
