Here's the problem, for the Obama campaign. It can't LOOK like it's a done deal. The impression that it's a done deal will significantly cut into voter turnout, and they're depending on voter turnout. It seems to be the case that the bigger a sampling of American the popular vote is, the further toward the Democrats it goes. So Dems want more people voting, and GOP want fewer.
Obama has to keep the story "we're ahead but it's no sure thing; we still need each and every vote." It also happens to be the factual truth, of course...
