BTW, great question!
Feel free to check my publicly posted wagers, I'm putting my HD$ where my mouth is, if Senator Obama wins the Presidency I will be down to about $10HD, if he loses it'll balloon to about $100K. Happy to play the contrarian on this one. To your point, Senator Obama typically appears very calm, curiously so many around him.... less so.... Michelle, his pastor, his friends, his associates, etc.
The winner is entitled to be misty eyed and overcome...

CARACAS, Venezuela — Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez is willing to talk with Barack Obama if the Democratic candidate wins Tuesday's election.
Chavez says that relations between Venezuela and the U.S, now at their lowest point in years, could improve in an Obama presidency.
During a televised speech, Chavez said he would meet with Obama only what he termed as equal and respectful terms.
The thug is actually campaigning for Obama, does that say anything to anyone? And what kind of person would have JOY in seeing this kind of person in the White House?
Anyone who thinks we're going to be watching Obama give a concession speech really needs to have their head examined. Putting aside all political preference, this election has been over for months.
