Overconfident would be thinking Texas could turn blue ... but we can work at it and dream, right?

9. Aw, hell, pop the bubbly. I'm always one of the most cautious here, to the point
where lately I've been accused of "concern" and all that BS, but even I don't think Obama can lose. It would take something drastic. It isn't the polls and the margins that convince me, it's the complete consistency in every indicator out there. Even silly things like the second graders poll or 7-Eleven's coffee poll. And even here in Texas I can't find anyone who really wants McCain.

It's in the bag, Obama's got it. :woohoo:

Okay, that's out of my system. Now, let's not get overconfident, anything could happen, we need to work like we're ten points down, and all that. There, I've backed away from the edge and grabbed my lifeline again. I feel safe. :)

19. How is their accuracy?
We laugh when AP comes out with McFailin' within 1 pt. so we should suspect a poll that shows Obama winning IN and OH by 10 pts.
