Is it possible for two amazing things to happen within one week? Or will I wake up Wednesday morning to find out that every pollster had been overestimating the Democratic weighting in their polls/the level of youth turnout/etc and find out that John McCain will be our next president?
You know somewhere in Pennsylvania there were Democratic baseball fans, who having been tortured by the Phillies for the last three championship-less decades, struck a Faustian bargain:
"O Great Spirit Who Controls the World Series and Election Results, if You can only allow the Phillies to win in the World Series, then I don't care what happens Tuesday, even if it means that the Diebold voting machines switch every vote to McCain, that Republican campaign staffers flood the Democratic offices with phone calls to disrupt the Get Out The Vote operation, or that a Republican-selected Supreme Court once again decide the election even when the American people have voted Democrat."
So I'm hanging my hat on my as yet unproven belief that the job of deciding election results is independent from the job of deciding World Series results and Phillies fans will not have to pay the horrible karmic punishment of celebrating a WS win and mourning an Obama election loss.
Okay, I'm off to the backyard to dig up my Palin voodoo doll and poke more pins in it.
