So tomorrow is Election Day. Am I any more optimistic than three days ago? I don't know. I want to believe Obama can pull this off. But as a Democrat, I've watched my party snatch defeat from the jaws of victory too many times.
If the polls can be trusted, Obama will win (though at a much tighter margin... I've got him currently at 275). If not, it's going to be a long night Tuesday, and I will need some rum (worse case scenario at this point for me is 314-224).
For those trying to follow along, here are some great accessories:

A great discussion of what to watch for tomorrow night from those guys at fivethirtyeight.com...

With a chance to make it good somehow
Hey what else can we do now
Had planned to stop there. But I found another clip, and then in the midst of watching and listening and crying a little... dad called up from the living room: Obama's grandmother has passed away. And the tears flow a whole lot easier.
If nothing else, we can cry together. And laugh together. And work together.
And win together?
Yes, we can.
