too confident?

I’m a little worried about overconfidence in Obama’s chances of victory (as represented by the incredibly large headline on The Huffington Post – Wash Post: Obama, Democrats Hold A Commanding Position).  The polls are showing some tightening as both candidates bear down and spend what they have left.  I’m of course a little concerned about the assault on Obama’s patriotism — it resonates with a certain segment of people that are looking for a reason to vote against a candidate instead of for one.

Pollster.com’s national tracking indicates that Obama is maintaining his proponents while McCain is gaining the undecideds.  I can only hope this is not a direct result of hearing some automated call say that Obama is a dangerous man that pals around with terrorists.
