It looks like it. However, it also looks like he'll win the electoral college vote without winning the popular vote. It will be interesting to see the spin partisan sources put on it if that happens and it will be even more interesting to compare that spin to the spin from the same sources back in 2000 when Bush lost the popular vote but won the electoral vote.
However, 2000 does remind me of quite a bit. Remember the shape the economy was in back then? I remember in 1992, the GOP was insisting that electing Clinton would lead to recessions and he would weaken our national defense. Instead we got 8 years of peace and prosperity and nobody bothered to call those asshats on their bullshit 8 years later when they're saying the same thing about Gore and nobody bothered to call them on it when they started saying the same thing about Obama. How about, when things go really bad when a Republican is in charge, we remember it and we try not to repeat those mistakes?
