that the Democratic Party may manage to nominate a candidate with real widespread support across the country. John Kerry didn't have it. Al Gore didn't have quite enough of it (Taking Tennessee would have done it though.) Michael Dukakis didn't have it. Walter Mondale didn't have it. Jimmy Carter didn't have it in 1980.
Barak Obama seems to have REAL WIDESPREAD SUPPORT from one end of the country to the other. His campaign and message seem to resonant with the political zeitgeist.
John McCain seems to have widespread support on the Republican side but with a decided lack of enthusiasm that right now seems in position to be flattened by Obama's Zeitgeist Express.
This is starting to remind me of 1980 when Reagan was aboard the Zeitgeist Express and Jimmy Carter was simply out of luck.
