Special Election Week Coverage

I've embedded an RSS Feed to fivethirtyeight.com, a website that pulls in polls from everywhere it can find and reports on the probability of a variety of different election-night scenarios. Everything looks very good for Obama.

Greg loves this site because he's a big numbers guy and he understands all the pluses and minuses and possibilities and probabilities and aggregates and blah dee bloo blah blay. And I understand in my head that this is all valid and probably giving us the truth and I shouldn't be worried because it's looking great for Obama.

But.

I'm still not sure.

I still think there could be a very big upset.

Maybe it will be fraud. Maybe it will be the Bradley effect. Maybe the Right has driven fear so deeply into people's minds that they ultimately won't be able to do it. Maybe a big, green, Republican alien will drop in from outer space and zap every person at the polls with an insta-neocon phaser. I don't know.

So I'm watching the poll numbers like a broker on wall street and waiting for it to be over.
