I can't bear to look

It's mid-day on Monday November 3rd, and I've decided to stop looking at the polls.

They are just making me paranoid.

Obama still has a healthy lead, but McCain is inexplicably chipping away at it in the 'battleground' states.

It could be due to exhaustive campaigning on McCain's part (he IS tough, isn't he?)  

It could be due to exhaustion amongst Obama's crew (they've been working VERY hard.)

I hope it's one or both of those reasons, because I'd hate to think that racism has anything to do with it.

Like I said, paranoid...

So no more polls.  I know who I am voting for,  but I will need all the time I can get before tomorrow to wade through all the propositions ...
