Stay Home
It used to be we'd wait until the first Tuesday in November to find out how people were voting, but since there's been a huge turnout for early voters, and (I've heard) the Dems are showing up, I guess this election is already over. Sounds to me like we might as well stay home on Election Day, it's already settled.

Please don't stay home! The races lower down on the ticket still matter.
Moreover: 1. "Early voting" (as distinct from absentee voting) is a brand new thing. 2. Obama's team -- even Obama himself in his recent speeches -- has been telling his fans to vote early. From 1 and 2, I think it's a reasonable deduction that there will be a disproportionate number of young voters and Obama fans among those who early-vote. So the in-booth numbers tomorrow will skew less to Obama.
Of course, that doesn't add up to a McCain victory, which is well nigh impossible.
But if it makes you feel better, tomorrow I will drive to my new polling place, here in the District of Columbia, and cast a vote. I am not expecting many other registered Republicans to be in the room. So if I can vote here in D.C., you can surely vote in Los Angeles!
