If McCain should pull this out, you'll see these things, excepting possibly #5.

And if my house turns into a large ice cream Sunday you'll see all of those things as well. But why discuss things that are so unlikely?

Ohhh! Can I come over for icecream?

No landslide, McCain will not win by much.

It's sentences like these that make English confusing.

Much means "great in quantity".

In other words, McCain will not win by a lot. That would mean Obama wins by a landslide.

English is hard enough on foreigners as it is, no need to make it worse.

You might be right. Obama has a chance, don't give up on him. In fact I admire you guys sticking with him when chips are down, shows fortitude.

Oh and poor poor Joe...

Yeah, Biden will have to find a job.

Um, you do realize that he's also running for Senate, right? He's pretty much a shoe-in for that, so he has something to fall back on in the event of McCain's inevitable victory

[Lancer]

Good! I like the guy, I'm glad he has something to keep him busy.

WTF, Pennsylvania's gone from a 12-point spread mid-month to 6% now? Let's just thank god it's on the east cost so we'll know quick...

Well, as Boris pointed out, it's 8 points, not 6. But also, the earlier spreads had larger numbers of undecideds included. My speculation, based on absolutely nothing except my gut, is that undecideds will break for McCain about 2-to-1; if that's so, any poll that had a large number of undecided voters included should narrow in favor of McCain.

I wonder if Wiglaf will give someone his credit card today.

Go McCain!!

Once the results are in, you, Ben Kenobi and I will be laughing all the way to the White House / church / tobacconist.

Final polls show Obama with a ~10% lead.
