Where is this election headed?

The Chicago Tribune endorsed Barack Obama today. The networks are concerned they may have a boring election night. On Twitter, fakejohnmccain and FakeSarahPalin are providing as much campaign hilarity as Tina Fey on SNL. Where is this thing headed?

Is America just tired of pretending that an angry maverick and an uninformed hockey mom actually constitute a viable ticket? Will this election come down to a final week of fading numbers for McCain, requiring he and Palin to run around the country, bravely proclaiming that "you can still make a vote for real change" while knowing that it just ain't gonna happen?

I'd be happy to see the tide finally turn one way or the other. I'd prefer towards Obama, but really, I just don't want to see two weeks of tight polls and ever meaner and shriller campaigning. It's been over a year and a half, people. I'm tired of hearing the talk. Let's just get this over with and move on past the W Era.
