I give it a 9.

1. Me too. Of course I constantly overestimate the intelligence of the American public.

3. I like 1-10 scales...
I was just thinking about this today, and I say eight.

In 10 hypothetical universes, I see Obama winning in 8 of those universes.

I would say balls-to-the-wall 10!, but never, never, underestimate the stupidity of the American electorate. Remember bu$h was "elected" twice by these people!

8. I am 100% sure he will win. Now, ask how confident I am that the proprietary electronic
voting machines will reflect that win accurately.

9. 7
The betting odds are closer to 6 but I prefer 7.

Slightly more than 2/1 feels about right. You can't get too carried away like the 99.98% threads.

10. 9
I pay attention to state polls. McCain is tied or trailing in just about EVERY swing state. How will McCain win states that he needs, like PA. Rendell, Nutter, Biden, Bill, Hillary all out on the stump. Bill and Hillary pounding the pavement in rural Ohio. Palin is trying to make the gender argument that Hillary so successfully made, but she's coming up short big time.

11. The only reservation I have, is they might steal it. Again.

12. 100% certain we'll win. Obama is brilliant. McCyclone is imploding.
He's having a second mid-life crisis and you can hear his psyche screaming "she makes me feel young!"
