4 perfectly valid reasons to believe it's in the bag and stop worrying.
#1- The math reason. I know a lot of you aren't very good at math. That's OK. It doesn't take Von Neumann to figure out that every single poll can't be wrong.

#2- The tinfoil hat reason. The MSM wants to sel viagra and head-on, therefore they're wildly exaggerating the chances of McCain pulling an upset. And anybody concerned is just carrying their water for them.

#3- Pascal's Wager. If you figure Obama's got it in the bag, and he wins- no problem. If you figure he's got it in the bag, and McCain wins... well then it'd be the collapse of civilization, and you being wrong wouldn't matter.

#4- Gall.

2. The math reason
And it doesn't take a Navier-Stokes equation to see the ripple effect.

3. Probably all true, but I'll stop worrying when it's actually in the bag
Not before.

4. Smith and Wesson is up like 80% in a week
The idiots would not be buying more guns if they thought McCain will win.

This actually helps. They buy the gun and then don't bother voting because if McCain wins they were wrong to buy the gun.

It is called shooting your dumb ass in the foot with the gun your dumb ass just purchased.

5. Guns are more likely to shoot a family member than a burglar.
So it looks like it's good news all across the board today.
