Don Quixote or Ol' Blue Eyes?

If you were to guess the outcome of the presidential contest today, based on the polls you'd guess Obama will win. If Obama wins, I predict we will come to view Senator McCain as a Don Quixote-like figure, too wrapped up in his own internal world of fantasy to win. When he had the chance to go for the political jugular, and his supporters urged him to do it, he wouldn't.

On the other hand, if it turns out McCain once again pulls the rabbit out of the hat and wins, his theme song for the next four years should be Frank Sinatra's "I did it my way." The lovely folks in the MSM will attribute his win to racism, and who knows, they might even be right for a change. Compared to the professionalism of the Obama effort, McCain's campaign has been less-than-polished.
