How big a win?

Obama is running even with rural voters. For an elitist Arab, and anti-American Islamic terrorist, that is just fucking remarkable.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – After trailing by 10 points in U.S. rural areas, Democrat Barack Obama is neck-and-neck with Republican John McCain among rural voters in 13 swing states, a potentially key group for winning the White House, according to a poll released on Thursday.

Obama was supported by 46 percent and McCain by 45 percent of 841 likely voters surveyed from October 5-21, as U.S. financial turmoil deepened, according to the poll commissioned by the nonpartisan Center for Rural Strategies in Whitesburg, Kentucky.

A month ago, the poll showed McCain led 51-41. This time, respondents said Obama would do better than McCain on the economy, taxes and "the financial crisis in the country."

Nearly 20 percent of Americans live in rural areas. They tend to be social and fiscal conservatives. President George W. Bush won rural districts nationwide by 19 points in 2004.

People, that is just unheard of. With the huge margins Obama will likely run up in the cities, we are moving into landslide territory here. What’s more, the latest Big 10 Battleground poll had Obama up in every state they polled by a minimum of nine points. Not to belabor the point but Obama is more competitive in Georgia than McCain is Pennsylvania. If you told me that six months ago, I would have laughed. We may be looking at not just a blowout victory for Obama but perhaps a major realignment in American politics, similar to the 1980 Reagan revolution. Here’s to running up the score.
