Hopeful Republicans. Nervous Democrats.

So most of the polls in the past weeks have put Obama winning on Tuesday. Butjust like what happens when they think they are going to win, and then don't.... some Obama fans fear that the exact same thing will happen this Election Day. Call it superstition or just being cautious, many are looking at the past two elections and think that it could be too good to be true. One concern that these poll watchers have is the idea of race in the polls. Some people might say that they are voting for Obama, when in reality they will be voting for McCain and just didn't want to seem racist.

This article frames the idea of the election in terms of desperation. Desperation that if things don't go as planned, the exact opposite could happen. In a reverse psychology kind of way, it is encouraging voters, liberal and conservative alike. For Democrats, its a way to ensure a win; for Republicans, its a chance at hope. But for Independent voters, it just makes it all the more confusing in a make or break situation.
