The media is delusional on this. They've got this massive sweaty hardon for Obama that keeps them from seeing reality. McCain and the RNC are about to dump a massive shitload of ad money they've been husbanding and that will tighten the race up quick (Obama had to outspend McCain 3-to-1 and have the financial system implode in order to get the few point lead he has now, even in this phenomenally shitty year for Republicans). And if McCain loses Virginia, I'm going to have to check that I haven't slipped into a parallel universe.
Also, this election year has taught me that this country is still far more racist than I had imagined (lots of latinos, rednecks, and even old jewish grandparents admitting publicly they won't vote Obama solely because he's black).
I hope Obama wins (lesser of two evils), but I would bet on McCain at this point.
