Election over?

All the scientific polls I've seen lately show Obama leading by between 4 and 14%, so if you consider that the average is about 9%, it's shaping up to be the biggest Democratic landslide in 44 years.

At this point in 1988, the media had effectively already called the election for Mad Dog Bush, and he won by less than 8%. In fact, they nearly called it for him probably in September.

No bias there, huh? (That's more sarcasm, people!)

I was alive in '88, and I remember it all too well.

If McCain was leading by 4 to 14%, the media would be none short of declaring victory for him.

Since it looks like this one's settled, I think all we need to do is - just for our own amusement - try to predict which states Obama is going to win. Or even more fun yet, which counties.
