I tend to agree with you, but in politics you cannot take anything for granted. Right now polls show the race in basically a statistical tie. Given how much people have hated the Bush presidency, I would not have expected a close race at this point. But in order for Bush to be a big factor in this election, the Obama campaign has to convice people that McCain will pursue similar policies to Bush, which is exactly what they are trying to do. And McCain will try hard to show that he is different from Bush. Whoever wins that argument will probably win the election.

After people take a close look at both candidates during the conventions and the campaigns pick up steam in the next two weeks, I expect Obama to pull out in front.
