Very interesting memo recently by an Obama staffer that explains much. Their strategy from the beginning was to create the aura of inevitability through misleading poll results based on faulty turnout projections. They are counting on depressing McCain voter turnout. Some particulars:

1. Today, 1 in 7 likely voters said they could still change their minds. They are breaking to McCain in a big way with revelations about Obama's spread the wealth approach, his birth certificate and the LA Times hiding a damaging video.
2. She said they only relax when they are at least 10 points ahead and perfer 13 to 14 (hence Obama is back in Iowa where he supposedly has a large lead). They recognize that the assumptions about turnout are wrong and the Bradley effect is alive and well. Interesting side note, in the national polls over 80% of those contacted refuse to answer.
3. The black vote is large but young people are not voting in any significant way. They need both and the hispanic vote which is not going well given his position on abortion.
4. They pay people to troll blogs and feign changing support from McCain to Obama (did this in the primaries as well).
5. They pay people troll youtube videos and overwhelm with fake names and negative comments or contradictory comments to pretend huge support for Obama.
