Well, the partisans on both sides are saying that their team is going to win, even when the polls say it's a tossup.  It's a lot like football fans telling the world that their team will win, when deep down they know that there's a good chance that they won't.  Then, when their team loses, it's never because the other team was better.  Instead, it's home team advantage, the refs were biased, someone had a bad day, whatever.  In politics, it's the same:  Regardless of who wins, the other team, I mean the real fans and cheerleaders, not the parties at large, will scream voter fraud, will say the voters were mislead, the refs (media) were biased, or it was the hurricane or something else that gave the other guys the home team advantage.  It's comical, really.  If your guy wins, it's because he got more electoral votes.  If he loses, it's because he didn't get as many.
