I can't imagine any basis for either of your statements. On paper, the D3 outperforms the 1D3 and the D300 outperforms the 40D.
"Unfortunately for Nikon, I can't imagine the D3 will dispel the idea that people tolerate their camera bodies so they can use Nikon glass."
That idea is apparently held entirely within the Canon commumity. Odd that they would feel that way since they believe their lens lineup is superior as well. Nevertheless, it doesn't matter whether a camera "dispels" ideas, it matter how well the camera works, and it appears that the D3 will be more than a match for the 1D3.
"The D300 kind of leaves me underwhelmed. Again, it's a nice camera, and a natural step up from the D40/D80, but I think the Canon 40D has a price/performance edge."
Can't imagine why unless you aren't reading specs. There is nothing but the price and the weight where the 30D looks better than the D300.
