Oops. My mistake. The last real landslide was 1996, the last time the GOP put an old cranky man up against a young, charismatic Democrat. See:

I’ll take that bet. They’re hasn’t been a real landslide election since Reagan. But, judging by every poll I’ve seen, see:

…every historical comparison, see:

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0608/11090.html

…and judging by the HUGE financial advantage Obama possesses, example:

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0608/10868.html

…I think it will be quite the opposite. There is a sea change coming in this country, and one lesson conservatives are not learning is that in times of great economic upheaval, calling candidates liberals or socialists doesn’t hurt them. It helps them.

Personally, after watching for the last decade what completlely unfettered capitalism brought us in the mortgage and financial markets, I’ll be welcoming a little socialism.

My prediction? Obama 300+ electoral win come November 4th.

Sure, Marion. Every gay person I know, having been out of the closet for about 12 years, has been aware of their same-sex attractions for most of, if not their entire lives. The first time most gay people recognize them is around puberty, although many recognize them sooner than that. Acknowledging it to themselves, and to other people, can take years, though, and often doesn’t happen until they are adults and have attempted to “be straight”. I didn’t come out of the closet until my late 20’s, after several long-term relationships with women, during which I was well aware of my same-sex attractions. Coming out of the closet is not a decision to “turn gay”. It is a decision to start being honest with yourself and others.
