While the pundits' pushing the race as "too close to call" did aggravate my GAD, they at least did us a service in making people feel compelled to vote.

Back in the Dewey-Truman race, the Repugs were so confident of Dewey defeating Truman that a lot of them didn't even bother to vote--they just went directly to their Victory Celebration parties, which ended up as crying fests.
