Too close for comfort!

I'm not a huge sports fan, by any means, but there are certain contests that I like to follow. I really enjoyed Rafael Nadal beating Roger Federer at Wimbledon. I like for the Detroit Tigers to win (and, on behalf of T., for the Detroit Lions to win, too). I follow my alma mater in sports, somewhat, and the Olympics - but in nearly all these cases, I just want to know after the outcome, that my person or my team has won. I find watching a close contest, where I care about who wins, to be stressful, or at least, not enjoyable.

Now that McCain has pulled ahead of Obama in some big, national polls, I'm feeling the same sort of close-sports-contest stress! I want the election to be over and I want Obama to have won! Childish, I know . . .
