Look at the polls .

Despite the unpopularity of his policies and the perception that we’re going in the wrong direction, the president’s approval rating is not terrible.

The election today would be close, with Perry losing narrowly and Romney probably winning. But the results in the key swing state of Pennsylvania aren’t that promising, actually.

Romney is now less than double-digits behind Perry nationwide. And he would win in CONN and California. He remains competitive in SC.

So it’s hardly over, in any of the meanings of “over.”

Dear Reader,

While I have you, can I ask you something? I’ll be quick.

Twenty-five thousand people subscribe to First Things. Why can’t that be fifty thousand? Three million people read First Things online like you are right now. Why can’t that be four million?

Let’s stop saying “can’t.” Because it can. And your year-end gift of just $50, $100, or even $250 or more will make it possible.

How much would you give to introduce just one new person to First Things? What about ten people, or even a hundred? That’s the power of your charitable support.
