a 17 point lead? Really?

As I remember it, he was always losing. For example, the SNL debate skit where they had Bush fumbling around trying to make a statement about his plans, and the Dukakis guy says "I can't believe I am losing to this guy".

These days people are pretty set, I don't see things changing that much, that quickly.
