Whoever wins (my final prediction) I don't think it will be as close as people think it will be. I think we'll know by Wednesday morning. This with more confidence than my actual pick for the victory.
There are several factors that lead me to believe that Kerry will win tomorrow. The youth vote that you mentioned is one. I also think that lower income voters (another group that is not easily polled) will turn out in record numbers and vote heavily for Kerry. I also think that Iraq will keep many Republicans home tomorrow. The smart ones know that Bush screwed up, and many of them won't have the heart to vote for him. The religious right will have a high turnout, countering the effect of some of the above factors, but in the end, Kerry will win with somewhere around 300 EVs and the popular vote.
In any case, I'm glad it's almost over. I fear that in my passion I may have alienated some people. For that I am sorry, and hope that with the election we can put the contentiousness behind us. That said, I will always be an outspoken critic of the Bush administration and its destructive policies, so if he wins tomorrow...
How ironic is it that I will be watching the election returns in a hotel room in Salt Lake City tomorrow?
