Arianna Huffington, Michael Moore, Bill Maher, pollster John Zogby, my aging relatives, and (I suspect) millions of other Americans deduced that if Obama moved to appeal to Republicans and evangelicals after the primary, he would rapidly lose momentum and perhaps even drop in the polls.
Obama proved all those people correct to a shocking degree. He was more than 100 electoral votes ahead, with 6 pickup states relative to 2004. Now he has lost about 75 of those electoral votes and half those states, and is astonishingly tied with elderly temperamental idiot McCain.
There's still time. But it's hard to tell what Obama has learned from this.
Moore has been proven prescient again and again -- about Iraq, the economy, health care, and about Obama - who Moore has endorsed.
If Obama follows Moore's instructions on "How to Lose the Most Winnable Election in History", Obama's next move will be to Denounce Michael Moore.
Then we're toast.
Take the poll.
