Reality Beats McCain

Enough with the Dewey Defeats Truman stuff.

Truman defeated Dewey in 1948.

The polling industry was in its infancy in 1948. Pollsters stopped issuing new polls days or even weeks before the election. Therefore, pollsters didn't detect Truman creeping up in the pools. Furthermore, after being embarrassed in the 1948 election, pollsters improved their methods.

And BarackObama ain't Thomas Dewey.

Anybody who thinks this is going to be a replay of the 1948 election is living in a fantasy world.
