I think most who read this blog will have a pretty good handle on the state of the race as Harold Meyerson lays it out in the latest American Prospect, but they probably won't say it as pretty. So here are two quotes that you can steal in order to sound wry and knowing at Thanksgiving:
On one crucial issue after another, and in the partisan identification of voters, the Democrats' advantage over the Republicans continues to grow. The incumbent Republican president has an approval rating worthy of a disease.
And:
When it comes to attacking, Obama has an instinct for the capillary. He is a man for synthesis, not differentiation; you want him on your side before and after a fight, though not necessarily during it.
