JS - When I read the thread title, I thought you were going to say the opposite - that the election is pretty much over and that Obama will win.
I was reading on another website about a week-and-a-half ago (and while a week is a long time in politics and I haven't seen or read much in the past week), the article was saying (I think it was on
www.electoral-vote.com, but I can't remember for certain) that people had virtually decided on Obama and were now looking for reasons to not vote for him (ie they will vote for him unless they see a reason not to - and this is why a negative campaign is more likely to work).
Anyway, my concern is more that people will end up voting for Obama by default.
