campaigning these last few days. That should give you a hint! Romney seems well...uh...more robotic than usual. He got off his campaign plane a few hrs. ago, made one short perfunctory wave and then nearly fell down the stairs carring a HUGE bag with his I don't know what in it! He looked so awkward!

"I've covered presidential campaigns since '92. Only Clinton '96 projected as much confidence as Obama '12, and '96 was a semi-landslide. "

I'm terrified. I seriously think I have PTSD from 2000 and 2004. If we take this year comfortably, I'm just paying attention to Nate and Sam Wang from here on out.

5. While riding in my car I heard a person talking about Obama always plays basketball

on the eve of large elections. They said he didn't play basketball the night before one particular election and lost, so his aides got a game together in Chicago at some type of youth center. Sounded UPBeat to me...I believe according to the report on the radio, that the game may already have been played this afternoon.

You know -- Obama probably has the right idea -- he has done everything in his power and has to release it to the higher power.

As I wish I could learn to do!!!!!!!!!

7. Obama's ground troops seem angry and energized. Romney's seem a bit more quiet than I would expect.

You can't really glean too much from that in general, but I DO think the reports of voter suppression in Ohio are reverberating throughout the country, including places like Colorado and Virginia, which may motivate Dems even more (I hope!).
