Too many on the right -- and too many in the conservative news media -- don't let reality affect their views. Some of it is selling ad apace, and close races are always good for ratings. Some of it is decades of hate radio and constant drumming of the extremist viewpoint. And some is that you know Republicans are going to lie and cheat in the actual election.
As minnehaha B says, it's not enough for the Democrats to get the most votes, they have to beat the spread.
Fortunately, Obama is ahead by far enough that I think he'll win by at least 10 points. The question remains about a filibuster-proof Senate and an overwhelming House. We'll see.
