    Considering McCain's going to win in a nailbiter and Mondale won DC and one state...easy choice.
    I cannot come up with a new sig till I get this egg off my face.

    While I believe Obama is going to win, I still don't think he's going to get 300 electoral votes ...

    I hope I'm wrong ... but, I think Ohio, NC, Florida ... they'll all break for McCain.

    But damn, I'd love a nice Obama blowout. :D

    2012

    Obama - 535
    Palin - 3 (Alaska)

    Shortly after the election, Alaska begins the succession process.

    :D

    I think he gets to 300, but 525 (Reagan 1984) will never be beat.

    I've got Obama winning with 291. Forget exactly how I figured that out, I was bored and sitting around last night. All in all, I think it will be much closer than projections are indicating.

    I can tell you exaclty how you got it ...

    Start with Kerry's 252

    http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/maps/obama_vs_mccain/?map=11

    Add New Mexico (5) Colorado (9), Iowa (7), Virginia (13) and Nevada (5)

    Bingo 291.

    That's exactly how I got to 291, my prediction.

    You are crazy if you think Obama is going to win this in a landslide.

    GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!1!1!!!


    Heh, but, yeah. That sounds about right to me. I can't see a lot of the toss-up states breaking Obama's way. I have hard time believing Arizona is as close people have speculated or that Florida is going to vote Obama.

    What is Alaska going to be victorious in after the election?

    it's called cautious optimism ... as a Red Sox fan, I've got this down cold!

    As a Yankees fan, I've come to expect victory every single time.

    However, as a Jets fan, I've come to accept failure more often than not.

    It averages out for me, I guess.

    It's going to be closer than many of you think.


    Just wait. You'll see.




    Obama '08!

    noting your post, I actually typed "opps", not "oops" ... my election day is marred ... ;)

    You probably accidentally voted for the Cruise/Hilton ticket and yes to proposition 5 which would require all businessmen to pay a fine on "bring your gerbil to work day" if they fail to adhere to the law OR wear a chicken suit.
