Casual Observation

Well, I was kind of hoping that we’d see some closing of the gap in the polls as election day drew near and people started paying closer attention to the candidates. It hasn’t happened. In most cases, things have gotten significantly worse. I don’t really have anything smart to say about that. Sometimes the polls are off by a few percentage points, but unless the Democrats’ turnout operation has a miracle up its sleeve, we’re going to be sobbing in our beer tomorrow night. I’ll believe it’s really this bad when I see it. Until then, I’m not going to try to assess why it’s so bad. Maybe it isn’t.
