The Race Will Tighten
Hold on to your hats kids... this is going to get rough.
The Presidential Race appears to be comfortably in Obama's Pocket, if you look at the Electoral College, which is all that matters.
However, everyone involved has an incentive to make this race seem closer than it is.
The Democrats don't want anyone to get complacent, so they will be pushing "the race is tightening" angle hard.
The Republicans don't want their troops to get demoralized, so they will be pushing "the race is tightening" and "the polls are wrong" angles hard.
The Media wants everyone to tune in to all the campaign hype they will be spewing, so they will be pushing "the race is tightening" angle hard.
Expect a slew of stories in the next few days showing how McCain may still win and how the race has tightened or how the polls may be flawed. By the time election day rolls around, everyone Democrats, Republicans, and the Media will be on the same page. It's anybody's ballgame. You'll hear that over and over.
Hang on for the ride kids.
Hugs and Kisses,
The Punisher
