6 Days Out

We're 6 days out from election day. No on Prop 8 is above by 8 points, the Democrats are guaranteed 58-59 seats and have the possibility to push that number to 60 or 61. Shays and Bachman are behind in their house districts; the Democrats are projected to have a 60-85 seat majority. Barack Obama leads McCain by over 8% nationally, and is projected to win in the electoral college by a margin exceeding Bill Clinton.

I'm nervous. I'm quite simply nervous. I fear the Republicans pulling another deceitful victory, somehow. I go on to 538 and see McCain's chance of winning go up half a percent to 3.8%, and I'm nervous. I see McCain gain a single point where Barack is up double digits and I worry. I know it's probably silly and ludicrous, but you can never take anything for granted.

Remember New Hampshire guys. Let's bring hope, change, and prosperity to America, or watch it fade into the abyss.

Perhaps my worries will fade when I see McCain trailing in Arizona, which is already a toss-up.
