And this may be one of those times.

I don't think she should be saying this. Let Obama & the DNC determine the strategy. Telling people that the election is in the bag could create overconfidence and cause the risk of people not bothering to come out and vote. I already know some young people who assume they don't need to vote because they think Obama is going to win.

The Senate is still on the line, as is the House and her own chance of becoming Speaker again.
