The crash

It's easy to over react to the polling, but it really is a bit frightening to see Obama sink from a 14 point lead to a 5 point lead over a mere three days in the one-day samples for the DailyKos tracking poll. That's a nine point shrinkage in three days in a poll with a MOE of about 3 points. In other words, three times the sampling error of the poll.

That, together with the continuing crash of the Asian and European markets last night has my stomach in knots for the day today.
