I'm far from the first person to point this out, but this election is essentially 2004, but with the parties reversed and a lackluster economy taking the place of a sh[inks]y foreign policy situation as the defining issue of the day. The Kerry-Romney candidate comparisons are obvious and already played out, but also don't forget that Kerry ran level nationally with Bush all summer, but Bush maintained modest leads in nearly all the swing states and eventually won by a whisker despite being a mediocre and vulnerable incumbent throughout. I really do see history repeating.
