1. That is all based on people actually going out and voting.

The point is to avoid the kind of complacency that makes people think that since Obama has it wrapped up, each vote does not matter so much.

Each and every vote matters, no matter what the polls say. They are not facts. They are merely projections of what may be. The only facts that we will know will be seen after election day.

2. fantasy land poll - that is an outlier and gives false comfort

obama is up but rational voters react when the polls tighten. Why is it so bad to worry out loud when the polls take a turn for the worse - it's not like saying you don't support the troops because you don't support the war.

3. Here are the current averages:

Polls: Obama - 50.4% McCain - 43.6%
Electoral Vote Projections based on those averages: Obama - 355 McCain - 156

No one is saying we should be complacent. But confidence is certainly justified.

4. Polls don't decide the election but voting does

and there is nothing to say McCain and Palin could be the next president and VP until the votes are cast and counted
