they also want to be sure that they are on the side that's winning (or perceived as right).

As it becomes more evident that Obama is going to blowout R$, I predict they'll start piling on him as well so that they can look like they were right...when this election is called at 7:01 PM EST November 6. They will want to say "see we told ya Obama would win big">

I think the right is voting for Romney and the left for Obama.

Indys are the big question. It might get them to swing to the left.
