Static Race: Obama By 5

By talkleft

The CNN poll, Gallup tracking poll and the latest Ras poll demonstrate a static race - Obama has held a steady 5 point lead now for about a week.

Ras writes:

Those results have been identical for three straight days as the campaign has entered a period of amazing stability. With leaners, Obama has been at 49% for eleven straight days and at either 48% or 49% for twenty straight days.

This looks like a 5 point race to me, all the way to November.

Therein lies the problem...

The Obama Administration will need a Congress that won't deliberately block good ideas, but will still have the balls to tell him when he's F'ing up. Oh, and there's still the Cheney Supreme Court, who could conceivably block any good legislation simply by declaring in unconstitutional. Unusual yes, but you know those christofascist Activist Judges...
