Anne T. Squires:

Really, is that what outsiders think?  That McCain will win?  Here in
the US an Obama win is pretty much seen as a foregone conclusion. 
Personally, I don't see McCain pulling out a win at this stage.  He is
so far behind in all the polls.  But, more importantly, it appears
that he is losing in states that usually vote Republican.  As you may
or may not know, the winner has to win the electoral vote, not the
popular vote.  Read, win in key populous states like Florida and
California.  I think Obama is going to take the electoral vote as well
as the popular vote.

Anne (who hopes she can vote today, because in her state there have
been people waiting in six and seven hour lines each day of early voting)
