Okay, I'll admit that my headline was over-the-top. But still, given the overwhelming coverage of the GOP's 10-point lead two weeks ago, shouldn't the fact that Gallup now shows the generic ballot tied at 46% be a Really Seriously Huge Story? After all, if the GOP's 10-point lead was the the biggest Republican lead ever, wouldn't that make this tie the GOP's biggest collapse ever?
Could it possibly be that faced with the prospect of Republicans retaking the majority and returning to Bush-era economic policies that the country is having second thoughts?
