Prediction Time!!!
Since it's exactly 2 months until the election, what is your prediction, as of now?

I'm predicting a 209 v. 329 electoral win for Obama. Dems pick up Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Colorado, Virginia, North Carolina, Ohio, and Iowa.

I predict an 8% popular vote win.

I may be too optimistic but may as well think positively.

5. Chuck Norris isn't afraid of the dark-
The dark is afraid of Chuck. Can't help it. Everytime I see Chuck Norris in print I think of World of Warcraft.

6. Ok. I just enjoy a good prediction thread
Plus, I'm sick of talking about Palin.

3. Hmm..
Dems win: Kerry states + Iowa + New Mexico + Colorado + (maybe) Ohio.

I'll be pessimistic and say we don't win Ohio. That gives Obama 274 electoral votes. 3% popular win.

4. Not ready to make predictions . . .
a) I'm not qualified to quantify things that way and b) I think the next few days are critical for the McCain campaign. They show signs of imploding. I don't think they'll get even a dead-cat bounce out of their Sauron-inspired convention. Could be an Obama landslide.

That having been said, if they get their act together and the slaveys of the MSM cooperate, it could be a contest again.

7. As long as Obama is inaugurated, I don't care
Besides, the way things work today, they have about a 5% handicap anyway just
due to in-place electoral fraud. The only thing that can stop it in the future
is a Democratic president and a Democratic Congress.
