Jacksonville, Fla. (AP) -- Barack Obama looks and acts like a guy who expects to win.
Just look at his election eve schedule. While John McCain rushed around to seven states for last-minute campaigning on Monday, Obama didn't appear before voters until after 11 a.m., the first of just three events for the day.
Before that, he did radio interviews from his hotel room — then he headed out in sweat pants and a ball cap for a 45-minute workout at a gym.
"What is the one thing at this point that has you a little bit concerned?" he was asked by syndicated radio host Russ Parr.
"You know, I feel pretty peaceful, Russ, I gotta say," Obama replied. "Because my attitude is, if we've done everything we can do, then it's up to the people to decide. And the question is going to be who wants it more. And I hope that our supporters want it bad, because I think the country needs it."
Obama's supporters were nothing if not fired up. About 9,000 came to his event in conservative-leaning Jacksonville, while across the state in Tampa, McCain drew less than 1,000. Obama's crowd was decked out in campaign T-shirts that said things like "Obama is my homeboy," and stood in their seats at Veterans Memorial Arena before he got there, dancing to a warm-up soundtrack that included India.Arie's song, "There's Hope."

AP is whistling past the graveyard. Obama looks to me like a resentful adolescent who knows he ain’t gonna get his way.
The worst thing a pol can do is believe their own propaganda.....

What keeps him up at night? he was asked by ABC News Radio’s Ann Compton.
“Not actually winning or losing,” he said. “It’s governing.”
Obama would look cool and collected even if he were down 20 points. That’s a large part of his novelty act.
Actually it is most of it.
Hopefully, this will be a case of "great Expectations" and, on Wednesday, Obama will be as stunned as his supporters.
It is absolutely sickening.
They should post a picture of the emerald and the hamster while they're at it. Or the chrysolite and the goldfish.
He’s not out there because he doesn’t want to answer questions about how he will joyfully bankrupt the coal industry. The less he is out, the smaller chance that he will screw up. What a loser.
“A guy who expects to win.”

Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do thou, O prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell satan and all evil spirits who roam now throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Post the picture today of Obama giving McCain the finger...
Nedra Pickler was so in the tank for Kerry, it was pitiful. Here she goes again for Obama. McCain is going to take FL.
Who’s he really giving the finger to? McCain? Or McCain’s voters?
Pickler and company haven’t given up as of today. I wonder if they will after tomorrow when McCain pulls his upset. Win or lose, I suspect I don’t want to see or hear from the MSM for a good while.
DEAR LORD, GOD ALMIGHTY,
PLEASE, LORD, LET IT BE AS YOUR SCRIPTURE DECLARES . . .
CAUSE
HIS PRIDE, ARROGANCE
to go before his devastatingly resounding fall tomorrow.
The thought of Obama governing keeps me awake at night, too.
