Huff po column attempts to settle the nerves of paranoid democrats:
Even though every political and statistical indication points to an Obama victory tonight -- and a healthy one at that -- a certain brand of liberal paranoia persists. This is too good to be true, Democrats declare, fingers grasping at their hair. McCain is tightening the race in key states. The youth vote won't come out.
But if in fact McCain were to win this election it would be, one of the nation's foremost pollster says, almost historically unprecedented.
"There is no reason in history to suggest [Obama won't win]," said Frank Newport of Gallup"All you can go by is history and compare our last polling that we have done before the election and the actual outcome in the presidential election... We have most polls showing Obama with a statistically significant lead nationally and also in these states. If he were to lose, it will be the first time since World War II something like this has happened. Now, keep in mind. It's a small sample, less than 20 elections, but it would be very unusual, in fact, exceptional... improbable."
