Polls and predictions

So the polls were right after all.

It's an Obamarathon.

The Arizona senator has become John McCan't.

We all like to confound the experts, but polling today is a lot different than it was in '48 when Truman beat Dewey. It's more accurate, and there's more of it.

Some Web sites like RealClearPolitics.com averaged together all the major polls.

When you looked at all the numbers, it was clear what was happening.

Individual polls can be off, but not all of them.

John McCain needed a miracle tonight to overcome the odds.

He didn't get it, and it was virtually undoable.

Get used to saying "President Obama."
