I'm always optimistic to the point of delusion, but this is not looking so hot. I was hoping it would be a much closer race at this point. On the bright side, still 15%+ undecideds in most of the polls and Royal seems to be picking up more and more of the Bayou votes. Still, my feeling is that she will have to kick an inordinate amount of ass in tomorrow's debate. Otherwise, this thing's over.
