psyops! arg!

no wonder they call it a “campaign,” it really is war

I like to think the GOP infantry would show up to vote regardless, but I can see how the inevitability myth can really squelch volunteering, contributions, and obviously the general morale of the troops.

Exactly. Despite how "jazzed" Obama supporters are, or are portrayed to be, imagine how devastated they would be if McCain pops up with a lead at the very end, and imagine how euphoric the GOP would be. It's like a football game where one team has seemingly dominated the other in every stat, but only leads by 6 points on the scoreboard after a 10-point lead at the half. Their fans have been cheering the entire game, while the other team's fans seem depressed. Then, with under 2 minutes to go, the underdog finally finds something that is working - giving the ball to "Joe the Plumber" to grind out some yards, while QB McCain keeps hitting top draft pick Sarah Palin with passs to make clutch 3rd-down catches for first downs. As they continue marching down the field, their fans have a bit more hope and the other fans start to get a little more worried. I would say right now, McCain is in that position, needing a TD. He's got a first down in Obama's "red zone". Now, if the team can get the ball across the goal line, tie it up and kick the XP for the win with no time left on the clock, imagine how crazy those fans will be going? Imagine how depressed the other fans will become. It all can change in an instant.
