  Doom, gloom,

  And the best I can see the other side manages to construe up is, "If Obama doesn't win this election."

  Yawn.

  I can count on one hand the number of people saying John McCain is going to win. And among Republicans it's even smaller. Half of them aren't even going to show up to vote for him.

  If people want to have a collective anuersym over the fact the polls (which are inevitably ALWAYS wrong, ask John Kerry or Hillary Clinton) have tightened (gasp!) then go for it.

  But the polls have been wrong throughout this thing.

  And the people out here predicting the end for Obama were the same ones who supported the Iraq War, were sure Hillary Clinton would walk away with this thing, ignored the rest of us when we told them Mark Penn was taking this thing down the tubes, used every poll to show us how Hillary was ahead, and predicted Obama wouldn't survive Iowa.

  These are the people who have been wrong about everything over the past 15 months.

  I'm going to listen to them now, because? Why again?

  Now please again, show me some poll about how Obama is slipping in FREAKIN AUGUST, describe his weak points (ignoring the fact you all claimed these were going to be his undoing against HRC and how even a miracle couldn't help him win this nomination) and about how that will be his undoing, and then yell some more about how angry you are.

  Sigh.

  He's going to win this thing. He was going to win in it in February, he was going to win it in May and he's going to win in it November. Sorry that I'm not freaking out over polls.
