Left everything on the field

Funny, this is how I've felt about this campaign in recent days.

Aides say that Obama in these final days is content in the knowledge that he has done everything he could to win this race, given his all — or, to use an oft-quote sports analogy, left everything on the field. If he loses, they say, his worry won't be about what he could have done differently but about the generation of young voters that he has inspired and the opportunity the country may have lost in keeping them engaged.

Of course, if he does lose, then given the brilliance of his campaign, the pathetic McCain campaign, and the utter disaster of Republican rule, then they might as well hang a "Democrats enter through Delivery entrance" sign on the gate of the White House.
