YOU DON'T SUPPOSE THEY'VE NOTICED...:
A Democrat in '08! But not that one: Polls show voters support the party, but individual candidates -- particularly Clinton -- are another story. (Michael Finnegan, June 17, 2007, LA Times)
It is a paradox of the 2008 presidential race. By a wide margin, several polls show, voters want a Democrat to win — yet when offered head-to-head contests of leading announced candidates, many switch allegiance to the Republican.
...that it has been almost fifty years since a non-incumbent Democrat won the presidency who wasn't a white Southern evangelical male governor? Posted by Orrin Judd at June 18, 2007 9:24 AM

Recall that polls late in the 2004 campaign showed Bush losing to every major party candidate for the past 30 years, but beating Kerry handily.
