I agree with Dick Morris.
Its not based on anything scientific - just a feeling we’re looking at a landslide.
The polls are all converging now and state polls - always lagging indicators, appear to be following suit.
And folks on Intrade are dumping once sure fire Obama stocks as fast as they can.
That the polls that had Obama out front consistently now have came to even is telling.
If you are thinking landslide, then pull out all the stops to make the landslide as big as possible.
I don’t want these guys to lose. I want them to be beaten. I want them to be crushed. I want them to get a drubbing so bad that it will be years before anybody admits being a Democrat in public.
Let the name of Obama be stricken from every book and tablet, stricken from all pylons and obelisks, stricken from every monument of the land. Let the name of Obama be unheard and unspoken, erased from the memory of men for all time. < /SETHI>

I agree too.
Let's remember some of the "effects" that may be in play for our side.
1-The Bradley effect. The experience that whites don't want to openly say when polled they're against the black guy.
2-As someone else pointed out on the thread-the fact that undecideds typically go 80% for the challenger.
3-The enthusiasm gap. This typically manifests itself in certain apoliticals who just aren't excited enough to get off the sofa and turn out for someone they're just not wild about. Republicans are livid, wired, you know...."broken glass".
4-The embarrassment factor among blacks. Obama's embarrassed many of them. After the first debate many are embarrassed FOR him. They'll want him off the stage. They won't vote for Romney, but the story of this election will be how blacks stayed home in significant numbers, IMHO.
