The press seems to be that big turnout = Obama win, what with other candidates reportedly leaning his way, and Hillary's surrogates already lowering expectations. Edwards is the wild card, with what they call "a strong ground game" and tireless campaigning.
It's weird and unfair, but between the two closing talking head ads, Obama comes across as wayyyy cooler and more pleasing to have on your TV every day for four years than Hillary.
Meanwhile the GOP is Comedy Central, with Romney having spent millions to end up making excuses that he might come in second, although scab candidate Mike Huckabee maybe shot himself in the foot this week by attempting to go negative without getting labelled as such.
To top it off, Fred Thompson's campaign is looking to end by Sunday, and a desperate Rudy Giuliani has made the most frightening campaign ad of all time...to the point of absolutely shameless self-parody (and shameless exploitation of Benazir Bhutto's assassination, her body not even cold a week). It's his Hail Mary pass, and what a way to go out.
All that being said, ours still beats the electoral process in, say, some other country.
