Yes, Senator Obama is way ahead in the polls. Yes, the electoral maps are looking good. No, he hasn't won yet. And yes, Senator McCain can still win this election.
"For those of you who are feeling giddy or cocky or think this is all set, I just have two words for you: New Hampshire,” Mr. Obama told top contributors during a fund-raising breakfast in Manhattan, alluding to his recent gains in opinion polls. “I’ve been in these positions before, when we were favored and the press starts getting carried away and we end up getting spanked.”
Even if Senator Obama is still way ahead on election day, it doesn't matter. Cheating machines, voter disenfranchisement and purging of the rolls -- you name it, it can happen.
Let's not get spanked this time.
That sounded weird.
