Watch for Obama to make several brilliant tactical moves
to put the icing on the cake.

The strategic campaign has worked well for Obama. He stays on message. Period. This campaign stays on the ground, knocking on doors, making the calls. That is good, old fashioned politics, and he and his advisors are masters.

McCain has tried every tactic up his sleeve, and has established only that he is erratic and unpredictable.

Obama will unveil a few subtle tactical moves that will bring in those "undecideds" that had decided to vote for him but might not make it to the polls.

It's going to be a fun couple of days.

10. I'm going to go carve another pumpkin
and ponder the meta-meta implications of your brilliant insight.

I think I'm probably too tired to vote now. Damn, why did I come to DU today when I could have gone shopping? WHY????

4. Me too. Concerned
If we get too many votes, it will automatically turn into a "mirror mandate", which is when too many people in the country are behind you.

When too many people in the country are behind you, there is a danger that progress might actually happen.

When progress actually happens, we are very possibly going to be exposed to lasting social change.

When lasting social change rears its ugly head, it's only a matter of time before more great leaders become inspired to make progress, which just starts the whole vicious cycle all over again.

THEY MUST BE STOPPED!

8. Move #1. Dude speaks Spanish.
Who knew? (Well, I did, but this really concerns me.)

Won't the rest of the voters in the country who don't speak Spanish think that he's showing off?
