The truth of the matter...

...is that we don't know who is going to win tomorrow? The odds-makers say the President is favored. All of us want that very much. We will not permit ourselves to think anything differently.

But, reality has its own advantage. It is not helpful if we are delusional or in denial. Debby-downers do not help us either. But being able to look at reality as it is, rather than as we want it to be, is to our advantage. It is not a detriment to our cause.

By looking at the world as it is permits us to see more clearly the road ahead. It permits us to work harder. It allows us to see the truth as it exists. Those that are closest to the reality and the truth will usually be victorious.

This is not a call to rest on our laurels. This is a call to remain vigilant until this battle is over. It is not yet won.

there is nothing wrong with looking at the reality, and concluding that obama will win. and still do what needs to be done.
