Well, there are some good arguments against early voting, including the possibility of voter fraud.
But most of the people I saw today will stand in line and suffer more inconvenience than if they had stood in line at the polls tomorrow. They are not lacking in civic virtue, only willing to exercise the franchise if it is microwaved and served to them on a platter.
My party may not fare as well as I hope when the ballots are tallied tomorrow – we’ll see, for the only poll that counts is still in the field. But I remember the stirring of my heart when I saw the ink-stained fingers of Iraqis voting in the first election of their lives. If you believe in democracy and representative government, the sight of voters voting here has to make you believe in America.

Well, one thing is certain: Change is coming. That's because the current president doesn't get another shot (not that he could win reelection against anyone at this point).
It will be interesting to see what happens tomorrow...or in the weeks following, if it goes the way of the 2000 election (God forbid). And frankly, if the GOP wins, I'm very concerned about public reaction...especially in the big cities. Despite all the talk of "healing the nation" and "bringing people together", it's become rancorous beyond belief. There's a sense of entitlement in the air on the side of the Dems (who knows...the GOP might have been the same way if the polls were reversed), and a sense that it's already over. But, as you say, there's only one poll that matters.
I certainly wish the next President well in his efforts to serve, lead and protect the country. You couldn't pay me enough to take that job.
