Sunday was the Day of the Dead in Mexico. Today is the Day of Decision in the United States. Cynics would say different countries, same holiday. Whatever.
The polls say Barack Obama is headed for history and John McCain is headed for retirement in Arizona. (Actually, McCain already lives in Arizona, so he's halfway there.)
It's fashionable to say the polls are wrong, and sometimes they are. We don't like to feel that we are predictable.
This time, put your money on the polls.
Obama will win -- by a landslide in the Electoral College, by a smaller margin in the popular vote.
Republicans shouldn't blame McCain. He faced long odds, and the financial meltdown sealed his fate.
Ever since Obama won the Democratic nomination, this race was his to lose. He didn't, and he won't.
When someone calls him "Mr. President" tonight for the first time, it will be a goosebump moment.
However, you voted, you should wish him luck. He will need it.

Nothing in The One's biography leads me to wish him well. The best I can do is a paraphrase from FIDDLER ON THE ROOF: "May God bless and keep The One -- far away from us!"
And as a good Texas I ain't givin' up anyway. As someone said today, Democrats show up for cocktail parties; Texans show up for the Alamo.
