I posted, about forty-five minutes ago, that Barack Obama was going to win the election, based on his win in Ohio.

There are polls this week suggesting that McCain may be gaining a bit of ground nationally, and even that the presidential race may be fairly close. This is true, but also misleading, at least in part.
