The presidential election is about 100 days away. President Obama and Mitt Romney are roughly even in the various polls, with Obama holding slight leads in the key swing states.
A lot can happen in 100 days or thereabouts. Napoleon, for example, went from ignominious exile at Elba to triumph in Paris to utter defeat at Waterloo. South Korea was lost and then saved by Gen. Matthew Ridgway in about 100 days of winter in 1950 and early 1951. In 1948, supposedly doomed incumbent President Harry Truman went from 17 points down in the polls to a victory margin of 4.5 percentage points on Election Day

Actually, it is a lot can happen in 169 days. That's how long until Jan 20, 2013, also known as Inauguration Day.
ReplyDeleteYet I fear, based on recent polls and the stupidity of the American voter, that we might be adding 1,461 days to that total!
