Why Barack Obama is the Underdog in this contest, no matter what.

If Barack polls way ahead, folks get concerned that he won't get the votes. That isn't something that normally happens...but in this case, there is that window of doubt.

If Barack poll numbers go down even just a little bit, folks panic and get quickly depressed.....that shouldn't happen in that way.

In otherwords, no matter what, folks are not feeling overconfident or relaxed, I don't think....meaning that Barack Obama and his supporters are always fighting for the ultimate victory!

3. This is probably a good thing in that it keeps people on their toes. I do think that some of

Obama's team dropped the ball in the tail end of his campaign with Hillary. That is why, to me anyway, he lost most of the last primaries. He knows this, and he won't allow it to happen again.

5. Also; as was said during the primaries

when your name is Barack Obama, you are always the underdog.

6. I just want this to be over with.

I want to skip forward to Nov. 4th. I'm tired of worrying about the Bradley Effect. I'm tired of obssessing over the polls fearing that stupid, "soft" Obama supporters will be swayed by the false Republican attack machine.

I just cannot fathom why ANYONE would want Sarah Palin as VP? WHY?

And WTF is wrong with those f*ckers in Ohio? WTF is the deal? There is a capable black man who has shown he has the skill, judgment, and temeperament to sit in the big chair. And you think its all false? That he is trying to trick us?

7. The Repiggies Still Have the MSM, the DOJ, the Courts, the Churches, and the Voting Machinez!

They are counting on Diebold to flip 6% of the vote for them and the MSM to call that the "Bradley Effect".

That is why McAin't looks so damnably smug even when he is losing.
