IT'S ONLY A DAY AWAY

Finally, after all the harangue, hard work, worry, wonder, disbelief, alarms, and absurdity, the 2008 US presidential election comes down to the wire. I tend to trust bookies more than political pollsters but the chart above seems too good to be true, and I freely admit I’m nervous. Like the guy in the poker game who thinks he’s holding a winning hand, but always fears the unexpected. As I just commented in response to our new pal Gerin, the future under McCain would be unthinkable. The future under Obama might at least be possible. And with an Obama landslide it might even be viable.
