It Ain't Over 'Til It's Over
Posted November 04, 2008 at 5:47 AM

This morning, all the left-leaning pundits on MSNBC are talking about how Obama's got it locked down. However, when speaking to twentysomething New York voters, I've detected both a joyful excitement about Obama and a grinding anxiety about the following possibilities:

1.) McCain wins, and young liberals feel the same disappointment and disbelief they did when Bush was re-elected in 2004.

2.) Voting irregularities lead to the push-pull situation we saw in 2000.

Regardless, I think it's waaaaay too early to call a post-mortem. I know it's tempting, but I think it's dangerous to do so.
